have you ever seen 20 people on an interactive session over slip?  it just
sucks...even 56k isn't that cool...20 ppl don't chew up an entire 10mps line
(t1 is really only 1.5mps anyway), but they can easily generate 5k/sec of
traffic... (which is what a 56k line gets you, remember, its 56kilobits per
second, not kilobytes).  ISDN (112k) would probably hack it, but I don't know
anyone with one... (or even if they are available in this area).
