Michael Smith stands accused of writing in message ID <199510032321.IAA14949@genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au>: >> I think microsoft has won that race, their ftp system told me to go >> away last week, they had 1250 ftp users on line. >Yah, but have you tried to use it past the 600 mark? Whatever it is just >loses its marbles as far as long-distance connections are concerned. >(At least, that's been my experience) The problem is what network link you have really. If you can get a fast enough network connection (perhaps FDDI or 100bTX), you should in theory be able to handle that number without TOO many problems. Of course, you'll always have problems with people a couple of hops away on a fast link swamping your network :-( Anyone know a way to do traffic limiting? Is it even fair? Gary
