Alan, actually, QCharts is much less demanding than eSignal. I had StockEdge Online before QCharts. Slow and mediocre. When you start up QCharts, you will notice that there is a burst of data download. I've seen 7-12KB per second. After that, it typically uses 100-300 bytes (NOT Kbytes, mind you) per second during normal operation. I use QCharts + CyberX. Good combination. I have an ISDN line, but it almost never hits the second channel. Even during start up, it almost always uses only one 1 64K channel. I wouldn't recommend it, but it is feasible to use QCharts with a 28K modem. When the user opens a browser window or two, and perhaps MIRC it might start bogging down a bit. The dual analog ISP approach with 52-53K that you recommend is should provide reasonable performance. Regards, Dan.
