Okay folks, here it is: The last wordon those of us with high speed modem/cable/ISDN connections and high receiverates.....This answer is direct from Brian "Spacer"Godette, author of "Godette's Enhanced Reflector"....There are few peoplewith his expertise and knowledge of CU-SeeMe software and it's intricateworkings....

High receive rates don't do diddly unless there's oneof two conditions.
1) The main connection to the net the reflector can'thandle the traffic.
(reflectors on cable modems)

2) The backbone network between the reflector and themajority of users is
congested. (reflectors outside the US mainly)

In any case ERef's limit the receive rate of the clientto the max-max-recv
or conf-max-max-recv setting. The next version also adjustthe values in the
OC packets before sending them out to the other clientsto put the actual
max receive rate in if it's higher than what the refis set to.
