Looking at ~24 or 48 concurrent dial-up (56k) users to start, and a "yet to
be decided" number of wireless PocketPC/Notebook (19.2k-56k) users...
Depends on what hardware we'll need.

Image compression and filtering would be desired for most, if not all,
users... bringing me to my next question;
Is there user level configuration for filtering/image compression?  If not,
any trouble running multiple instances with different configurations on
different ports?

Thanks,
