Package: wondershaper
Version: 1.1a-3
Severity: wishlist


'README.Debian.gz' describes how the user should:

	STEP 1 Gather data
	STEP 2 Pre-test
	STEP 3 Enable the wondershaper
	STEP 4 Post-test

Presumably every time one changes modems or ISPs you'd have to do all
that again.  It'd be easier if this labor were done by a benchmark 
script, data from which would then be fed to a configure script.

For modem users it's worse, because some dialups are finicky.  One 
day a modem/line might work at 56K, and next day only 33K.  Hardcoded
settings may cause trouble if the speed changes.

What's needed is some kind of on-the-fly benchmarking and autoconfig,
perhaps aided by reasonable defaults.  That is, if my modem is usually
56K but taps out at 33K, the script would notice and use different
settings.

Hope this helps...
