That's sad.  I thought they had an unlimited plan for something like $80.00 or 
so.

I'll save a lot of time too, I If stop installing ISOs. (-:

So today, I had a meeting from 11:00 to 12:00.  Just as the
meeting started, I got my KVMoIP to display the desired BIOS
screen on a server in California.  So I pushed that window to
the back and started watching my boss's shared desktop.
80 minutes later, the meeting was over and I went downstairs
to eat breakfast and lunch.  Then I came back upstairs.

For two hours, the BIOS had been constantly repainting
the screen, and the KVMoIP had been faithfully sending
the same pixels over and over, as fast as the 'net could
carry them.  I got 2.1 gigabytes of that screen, for which
Verizon will charge me $21.

Sigh.

It's still cheaper than moving to San Jose. (-:
