<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Yup. Check with your leased line provider about the capacity </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> to 'burst'</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> data - quite often they say a line is 64/128/256/512 Kb/s with a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> facility to 'burst' up to double the capacity for a percentage of the</FONT>
