I looked into this 6 or 7 years ago. It wasn't feasible unless you were on an extremely high-speed, low-latency network, beyond what was typically accessible at the time outside of universities and LANs. Could be worth exploring again now that 25-100 mbps connections are becoming more common. -- Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz Council Member / Sr. Developer Gentoo Linux Blog: http://dberkholz.com
