Actually it's worse than this. If the server is sitting on the 1.5M/512k DSL connection, then there's an extream shortage of bandwidth on the upstream side (require 3200 kbps, have 512 kbps), and that's not allowing for TCP/IP overheads. Most asymmetric end user connections are a poor choice for hosting conference servers, because they assume more bandwidth is needed on the downstream side, and with a conference server, the opposite is true. That's why I have such applications hosted externally.
