Hosting websites/ftpsites, or any sort of servers on ADSL lines is probably forbidden. Oh, and probably the same applies for DIAS as well. Besides, since the IP addresses are NATted, unless you use a service like dyndns, you cannot have the permanent IP required to run webservers, etc. > > > 3.

CellOne is GSM/GPRS/EDGE , which has probably the lowest data transfer rates among the most commonly used wireless networking protocols.

And yesterday Prometric rated my dialup at 186 Kbps. :) -- Soumyadip Modak [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://soumyadip.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
