I've never once had a complaint from my users that the system is too "slow" or it lags, and I offer quite a few services off of it, simply because of the fact that it is stable (unless I (occasionally) have to unplug it due to electrical storms, this thing doesn't go down).
Of course, the beauty of it is that I don't "NEED" a network (nor does anyone really) to run a domain. I've got 2 running off a single cable modem IP, and have for QUITE some time. DSL, I'd question the stability of, because I've yet to see a STABLE dsl line (not saying it doesn't exist, but still). Cable, on the other hand I'e had zero problems. The thing to worry here about is "Does the admin know I'm running this list". Most providers throw a big ol hissy fit if they see you running servers on their networks. -- ---------------------------------------------------- TJW: Head tech, Dreamless Realms Mud: http://dreamless.wolfstream.net Snippets http://dreamless.wolfstream.net/ Telnet dreamless.wolfstream.net:9275 The OLC Pages http://olc.wolfstream.net ---------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
