I get compliments on the speed of my server, and it runs on a 28.8K modem. Then again, my web pages are all text, no graphics, so it goes quick, and there's seldom more than a handful of people hitting it at the same time, and then only when there's a chat going on. For 10K/hits a day, a modem is fine. It would probably start suffering from congestion at about 50K/hits a day, depending on the size of the pages and graphics content.
