When the bandwidth required to send its mail is significantly smaller
than the bandwidth available. That is, if you have to send 100,000 5K
messages over a 1 hour period, you would need a T1, and you would fill
it to over 75% capacity.
In general, the concept of "well connected" is dependant on your mail
volume. If you only have to send a few non-time-sensitive emails a day,
your 9.6Kb modem is well connected. If you have to pay by the
kilo/mega/giga-byte of traffic, you're probably not well connected. If
opening up concurrencyremote connections and sending mail kills your
link for other applications using the network, you're not well (enough)
connected.
