Wateroof is really cool. The unit used by Wateroof is actually in Kbit, and if you want 3 Kilo-Bytes per seconds (which I suspect is what you need), then you need to specify 3 * 8 (bits) = 24 Kbit/s. Dial-up are usually 56 Kbit, which is, as you said, max at 56 / 8 = 7 KBytes/s. If you need 7KBytes/s then, you need to specify 56Kbit. Manually using ipfw lets you specify in KBytes/s rather than Kbits/s. Thanks for this. Wateroof is really cool.
