I used a similar idea when I was on dialup to broadcast internet radio. I sent my stream to a computer with a decent connection and had it do the broadcasting. Basically you create a private station on the dialup and have the computer with the real bandwidth connect to it and run it's own server. This is all very easy to do using icecast or shoutcast mp3 streaming software. Bijan -- Bijan Soleymani <bijan@psq.com> http://www.crasseux.com
