    Someone syncs w/ bkbits every 19 seconds 24x7. We also run our web server
    here. All traffic to from bitmover.com/bitkeeper.com/bkbits.net goes
    through that T1 line.

    You guys who are saying it can work are thinking (a) one connection of
    long duration (think about all the web hits on bkbits.net, those are all
    short and new TCP connections) and (b) that a little settling time is OK.

    There is a reason that the phone networks don't work like IP networks.
    The bandwidth is allocated whether you use it or not and your phone works.
    Doing optimistic allocation and then backing off means that the phones
    don't work.
