No software, no, but a generally recommended solution is to improve the
symin-user interface using a good bottle of single malt Scotch.

Good post. But do note that, as there is no reference to Scotch (single
malt or otherwise) in the C standards documents (nor, as far as I know,
in K&R), that such is off topic in this newsgroup.

Followups (not) set.

Yes and no. There are tools like packet sniffers and network
management protocol, but if you don't already know about them,
it's not likely you would know how to use them without alot
of research. If you have a competent person running the network,
let them worry about it.

He could just be using the same bandwidth more efficiently, like
using compression.
