Gene, I would think that most (popular at least) hosts on the Web are connected to the Web directly thru digital lines, like a T-1 line, as opposed to phone lines with a bandwidth of 56K. For example, here at Boston Univ., our Web server is connected to MIT via a T-1 line. MIT acts as the gateway to the Internet for many Boston sites, and most likely will have a T-1 or T-3 line going to the Internet backbone. The bottleneck, of course, is the student's modem connection from his home to BU. Imagine if Microsoft's web site was connected to the Internet via phone switches??? joey
