T1 or greater is ideal. ^ non-loaded I've seen a situation where a T1 wasn't enough, but that line was also kinda overused :-/ I think that should read: 128kbit/sec of bandwitdh which is currently SPARE. You could have a DS3 and still not have enough, if there was enough other traffic on the line. Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
