I applaud your efforts here to test the QOS for your dialup users. Very
good idea.

The best way to do it is *not* to try to modify the server in some unknown
way; instead, test it like your users: dial in.  If you do not have a box
with a modem, simply post the url of the pages you want tested  and ask
piclist users on dialup if they would kindly time the download time and
report same to you.

Caveats: the user should know about clearing their cache so they actually
get new data downloaded and they should know how to deteremine what
connection speed their system has.  And finally, they should closely time
the test.  Type of PC, browser version, etc. is probably helpful too.

Good luck!
