How do all you net-folks out there know what speed your modem is operating
at, what the packet loss is like etc.?  I can get a character per second
measurement from, say, netscape or fetch but that's just about the only
diagnostic I can find for my internet connection.

My set-up includes a Mac Performa 630 and a USR Sportster Mac&Fax V.34.  My
service provider, in case it's relevant, is demon (a UK provider).  Any help
will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
