Thanx for the suggestion... Tried that, unfortunately it still doesn't 
look like I'm getting throttled...  What group should I add users to to 
have them affected by the COOP options in throttle.fw?  Member, Co-op, 
Coop, coop...... ?  I've tried Member and Co-op, but neither seems to 
get throttled...

Here's the top of throttle.fw now:

TOTAL_DOWN=3mbps
TOTAL_UP=3mbps

OWNER_DOWN=3mbps        # fw mark 1
OWNER_UP=3mbps
OWNER_OPTIONS=""

COOP_DOWN=1536kbps              # fw mark 2
COOP_UP=1536kbps
COOP_OPTIONS="bounded"

PUBLIC_DOWN=256kbps     # fw mark 3
PUBLIC_UP=256kbps
PUBLIC_OPTIONS="bounded"

OPTIONS="allot 1514 maxburst 20 avpkt 1000 prio 1"
METHOD="sfq quantum 1514b perturb 15"

Thanx!
