The number of Demon modems involved is irrelevent. >The number of users is the number that I'm concerned with. <Humor> So if demon had 4 users and 1 modem and a 10k link, each user could use 2.5k but only one user could be logged on at any one time? Yer that sounds logical the other 7.5k would be used by those users not connected!! </Humor> <Reality> Your knowledge of this subject shows up as being totally crap, by the statement you said above and also by the fact that your news setup breaks RFC1036 (message ID's must have a valid internet domain name after the @ anorak.coverform.lan is *not* a valid internet domain name, if everyone choose stupid domain names and didn't register them there would be clashes all over the place and a Message-Id would not be unique.) </Reality> -- Brian Blackmore http://www.wonderland.org/~eternal/
