Assuming that you will need about 12 to 24 simulataneous calls on each DID you want to run, and you are using Ulaw to get these calls, what is the bandwidth that the DID provider has to give you, apart from the DID service? Ulaw needing 64 kbps per line, needs 1.2 mbps for 20 simultaneous calls. Assuming a Data T1 costs about $500 bucks a month and assuming that you need/use the DID for only 8 hours a day at that rate, it costs about $100 per month in data bandwidth alone. Who will pay for this, If it is not Democracynow who is footing the bill?

Many of the providers I've tried contacting either won't call me back, or want me to sign an NDA just to get a rate quote, or some other bullshit. Most of the providers whose rates are plainly posted on their website have a limit of at most 4 or 6 simultaneous calls, which is not likely to be enough for the application I'm considering. You can reply off-list or on-list, as you prefer. many thanks, mike -- mike castleman network / systems administrator democracy now! mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tel:+1-212-431-9090 (office) tel:+1-646-382-7220 (mobile) -------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.
