FCFS was no good unless u had access to T1 or equivalen lines. Even then the networks used to get jammed. I had lot of problems in FCFS using 56K connection. i almost spotted IPO within 30 secs, but if I was at home I did not even bother to enter because I know the system would freeze. Wits website was FCFS but it was like a 5 minute window. For e it was 1-2 minutes. With 56K forget it. People who do not have access to t1 lines should not be deprived of a chance to participate.
