What ever happened with this? "eXperimental bandwidth delay product code"

:) hehe...

Okay, let's say how do I force my machine to think it doesn't have any
latency and saturate a 6Mbit/s link even though the link has 220ms latency?

Assuming zero latency, absolutely nothing :)  You can easily saturate a
100mbit LAN connection (which has like a 12K bw*d product) even with
IDE disks.  Latency and packetloss are the killers.
