First,,,,,,,,,,,,, You should learn what a PC
is using.
You
will find Windows
In
Windows, You will find Internet Explorer.
Internet Explorer needs 28kbps.
So
learning windows is essentiel before Wireless.
Three stricke and your out! :-P
Really though, it seems the group does not know how to answer that
guestion. besides that, you are asking it the wrong way I believe. Do you
really mean 16kbps, almost 1/4th dialup speeds? Or, do you mean 16KB/s which
is closer to 128kbps (ISDN speeds) in which case you are asking for a
Throughput analisys which is tricky at best.
So
if we assume 128kbps backbone and we assume you want these computers to
browse at least as fast as dial up if not better then assuming that large
network theory applys and the average user uses the full resources 1/10th of
the time in peak usage hours and 1/50th of the time in off peak hours we
could assume that you could have 20 and max 100. Now these numbers work for
T1 and larger but I don't think they scale well to ISDN
speeds.
As
you can see, we don't have enough information to answer this well and even
with more information, the numbers of users you can cram on a network
segment has started more Holy Wars between IT and the bean counters that the
English did with the Turks in the Medival times! It is all personal
preference, your feelings on what 'Acceptable QoS' means and how talented
you are at tweeking the network and clients to get the best
preformance.
Here is the completely honest, absolutely, 100% correct and infalable
, "GIGO" answer .......... '10'
My
opinion ........ '2'
Average opinion......... '0 Agh, who wants to pay wireless prices for
ISDN speeds. I almost can even bring myself to type the letters. They just
FEEL slow.'
Good luck

hi,
really what is the actual bandwidth a pc requires to be on the net.
precisely, how many systems can browse with 16kbps/16kbps link.
