When you get a machine "on a T1" it doesn't mean you get the T1, it means you get some of its bandwidth. For example, if there are 500 machines connected to that T1, that's not good for an IRC server. If there are 5 machines, then it is most certainly good. So more information is needed to really make the call.

thanks for your replies. To start off with we are going to be the only erver using the T1, as time passes, some other machjines might be added, but they won't be any more than 5 at a time.

Sounds like it will be a great server. Very Happy
