WELL, I WOULD, BUT I FIND THAT RUDE TO THE EXTREME, SO I DON'T.

downloading off a mfg website, from ftp or what? and does it time out while you are transferring or does it time out while you are waiting for the download to start, do you already have several files startewd from that site?

ok in a nutshell, BS. the saleswoman needs to get her head examined. isdn is something completely different from dsl, it is a voice service that is superior to pots. instead of one line with 1 number isdn gives you 2 lines with multiple numbers. that's probably where the 5 comp number comes from, i guess their basic package gives you 5 phone numbers. you use the 2 existing wires of the potus to go into the house where you hook up the network terminator that creates the inhouse digital S0 bus. that uses 4 wires. you need isdn capable phones and cards/adapters for the comps, or an inhouse switch that converts isdn back to potus for legacy equipment. the 144 kbps is theoretically correct, but again, bullshit. you get 2 b channels with 64 k each and a d channel with 16 k. the d channel is however purely for connection related information and generally not used for data. hence you get 128 if you bundle the two b channels. (most pc isdn cards can do this) otherwise it's like having two phone lines with multiple numbers in the house. use one to surf at 64 and one to talk. advantaes over pots: the connection is made a lot faster, no more modem negotiation since the link is already digital. the 64k speed is not a soft number like a 56k modem, it is what you actually get out of it, the speech quality is better than with pots you can still get dsl on an isdn line, since the isdn signal uses only slightly more bandwidth on the 2 wires than the pots, and the dsl freqs can still be placed on the line. that leaves you with a dedicated comp connection via dsl and 2 digital phone lines. using the link for multiple comps however would mean installing an isdn access router that dials in to the isp on demand and bundles the 2 b channels (leaving you without a phone line) and then distributes to connected comps.

so what kind of line is it for?

then you need to transfer the files to the remote client. with enough bandwidth you probably could transfer the output of the host to the remote client. but you would need to be on a lan to do that, and you would still loose quality, not to mention that a lot of the software does video but not audio. use the file transfer option (if you have it) to send the files to the client.

you would be surprised. but go down to the basement and take a peek at the leds on the router modem when speeds are slow. this should give you a hint if speed problem is technical or due to high traffic.

remember to wrap your gerbil in duct tape so it doesn't pop...

do you want the machine you logged in on to play them or the remote client?

those speeds are wired or wireless?

your connection already is pretty close to lightspeed. you want a connection with more bandwidth, not faster transmisson.

did i read correctly that you have 2 nics installed in one computer and both go to the router?

that depends. is that a landline or sat? or microwave for that matter? what is the area availabilty compared to cheaper options, are there cheaper options. for all we know this is the pricelist for the astronauts private connection on the iss.

<groan> <facepalm> wasn't the wing commander movie bad enough?

hm, maybe the smf has limitations, and at that point there will be -14998 members?

i think that was meant as way too high a profit margin to be true. as in too many costs not considered in the calculation of the price.

well, single core or dual core. hm. single core acts like 2 cpus with HT. dual core acts like 4 with HT. you loose 400 mhz with dual core versus single core, but yoiu get 1 core with 2 virtual cpus to make up for that. so i guess it will be at least as fast, and the more optimized the software is for HT, the better.

you forgot to say in your prev. post, (or i missed it) that it was free. why exactly then are you asking if you should max the package out to the gills or not?

nice rig. nice tax rate too. how much is that thing in euros or dollars? and how much do you end up paying for the period of the lease, is there an initial/final payment? would it be better to finance and then be able to keep the thing forever?

nice connection. although it sounds like overkill for a bunch of irc channels, lol. hope your hosting service takes off so you can make some use of all that speed.

i like the gps. go and hike a hill with that mofo strapped to your ass, lol.

i know the 4.8 gig is for all servers there, that's why i wanted to know if he is tied in via 100 or gig. because that would then be his theoretical max link to the outside.

dual 2.4 gbps is ok, but how is the server hooked into it? 100 or gigabit? and with the new limit on speedtests he might not even be able to test.

cheapest i seen near san juan PR is 63.7 per liter for regular unleaded at a no name station.

"The San Francisco man who was arrested told police it is his practice to install a new operating system or erase and wipe clean old data from a computer before posting it for sale online," the university said. not real bright. he practically admitted to being a repeat offender. the only thing going for him is that that way he can try to weasel out of the id theft charge. but i'm sure the DA will try to find a way to stick it to him.
