connections will this accomodate for N4?

If I recall correctly, a full T1 is ~ 1.5Mbits/sec, so I can only assume
that a fractional T1 would be ~768Kbits/sec (not 768Mbits/sec).
So you're looking at ~(768Kb/sec) / ~(21Kb/sec/client) = ~36 clients.
Your mileage may vary.

I'd set it up for 32 clients and hope for the best (simply to allow for more
or less TCP overhead). The above mathmatical calculations are based on the
assumption that the bandwidth is uninterrupted and with most access lines
(T1, T3, OC3 etc), they are hardly ever uninterrupted. According to Papy and
my independant testing, the above math is accurate in theory.
Wow, 36 clients. Thats more than I expected. Very cool.
Thanks,
Gerald

Listen to Mr. Cassidy - he is (no sarcasm intended) *all-knowing* where
bandwidth is concerned regarding papy sims.

I dont think anybody want to shoot you, but isn't a US ISDN BRI channel
56Kbit?
Euro ISDN is 64Kbit.
Jone.
