A dedicated OC3 wouldn't really be enough any more, for the full feed (150+ megabits at peak times, average maybe 130 megabits over a day - i.e. 1300 - 1350 GB/day on a heavy day). Cut out the multipart binaries upstream and you only need about a megabit. -- Andrew, Supernews http://www.supernews.com
