That's what I was thinking of. Not being a Linux guru myself, I
wasn't too sure that such a tool existed. How hard would it be to stop
the outgoing traffic from the server (if one was to break the AUP,
which you shouldn't) from taking more than 15k or so? Even for the
average user on a 56k modem, 15k would support about 4 concurrent
connections, all sucking the maximum from the connection. My small web
server runs from a 33.6k pipe, and I've had up to 3 users connected at
once without trouble. How many people have a small LAN setup with a
Linux proxy being fed from a 33.6 or 56k connection? How many users do
you have at once? When you think about it, 12k or 15k upstream is quite
a bit to have.
