| So one 24kbps stream can support unlimited users? |

sure... it just wouldn't go very fast... for example... 24kbps / 2400 users = 10 bytes per user... not very fast ------------- Paul A Morgan http://www.pmorganphoto.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.pmorganphoto.com/ |

| Sorry I don't understand. Why does every user only get ten bytes? |

Because 24kbps (24000 bytes) --------------------- = 10 2400 users |

| But you would only get 10 bytes if 2400 users were concurrently connected to your server, which is unlikely if it is only a small site your hosting. |

if you had 2400 simultanious connections to your servers i doubt you would have to worry about pirating win2k3 ------------- Paul A Morgan http://www.pmorganphoto.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.pmorganphoto.com/ |
