It might not be able to host that many sites though. :( ISDN is faster than 28.8, but not as fast as T1. I think you can handle about 5 28.8 users. That is 5 28.8 users can load pages from you at the same time without feeling "bad-lag". If the sites you're hosting aren't popular, you can always add more. If people are allowed to download huge files (over 1MB), the bandwidth wouldn't be that big. ----- Tyrel Burton tyrelb@pangea.ca "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers" - Thomas Watson, IBM Chairman, 1943
