[ale] OT: ADSL modem bottleneck

[Robert Heaven]

Sometimes, on a 10baseT connection, you can get a stop/start type of
bottleneck if your 10baseT is operating in half duplex mode. But, that
usually only manafests itself during interactive periods. For file
downloads, or large images, you don't normally notice it.
