I don't think that's a problem these days as it used to be; many Cable providers have plenty of bandwidth on the local cable circuit especially after the influx of upgrades, as well as caps of course. And it's certainly not possible to sniff traffic as it used to be for some Cable providers. -- scott c. linnenbringer | sl@panix.com http://www.moslug.org/~sl | sl@moslug.org
