If we're picking nits, don't forget the fact that most users are more concerned with "how fast does my Web page load," so you have to account for wireless (or Ethernet) overhead, IP overhead, and TCP overhead, which can eat up several percent of the link's "raw" capacity :P Unless you can know in advance exactly what kind of traffic the link will be handling (which is rare but not impossible) it's all guesswork anyway :D David Smith MVN.net -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
