If you operate a remailer, please tell us what you need to make it really work well. Perhaps the rest of us can help make it happen.
Sure. Send me $125 a month for a dedicated line, and I'll insure that you get low latencies on winsock.
Malarky. Some basic issues regarding the physical infrastructure (YMMV): - since the lines are answered by modem and not voice AND they are not answered as the business you can use residential lines which means a much lower cost of operation. - assuming 1 in-dial and 1 out-dial (needed for maximum throughput and minimum latency) you only need long-distance on the dial-out. - the pricing on the move of my 4 POTS broke down thus: Line # Install $ Monthly $ Function 1 38.35 16.63 dial-in, no ld 2 30.95 16.63 dial-in, no ld 3 16.35 16.63 dial-in, no ld 4 16.35 30.08 voice w/ ld, call notes, caller id - the pricing on my other aspects are: ISDN 0.00 w/ 2 yr. 80.00 main link to contract provider Electrcity 12.00 per machine Modem 200.00 per line ISP 0.00 w/ 2 yr. 400.00 backup DNS, contract 4-day mail cache, admin account, usenet server access, full C-class, backup dial-in, their ISDN costs - you should also arrange legal and financial support Maybe that will give you a Ctl. Texas base-line for estimating what it would take to do the job. I should have an estimate for T1 pricing and setups in a couple of weeks, say something and I'll post the current status. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there | | be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. | | | | -Alan Greenspan- | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.
