TR, I fully expect the specific servers to get clobbered for hours, if not totally locked up, sending out 503 messages at every attempt to connect. It's one thing to connect to a site and look at a web page, it's another to connect and then try to download 445 pages of info. I expect that the backbones will have horrendous delay times. Now if the East Coast backbone jams up feeding the Washington DC - Atlanta (Government and CNN) regions. Then traffic will begin to be re-routed via the East-West and even around the West Coast backbones searching for clear paths to handle the traffic not going for the document. RE your specific demo. Depending on the locations you are attempting to 'connect', today may not be the best of day's to try it out. Any delay's in the 'real' release time of the document could have it smack in the middle of your demo time period. Depending on how critical connectivity and response time is to your demo....... Tomorrow or Monday may be a better day. IMHO, but I'm not a network administrator. Ben A.

PC leaders see strength. T.R How's this for a rosy outlook,turmoil,crisis and all that notwithstanding,eh? Also do note CPQ acknowledges their difficulty in Asia but this not a problem for DELL and they are growing nicely in Asia in spite of all the problems in the region but CPQ can't say the same for the region. ========================================= Source:CNNfn Compaq, Dell say they see the same strong demand that is propelling Intel September 10, 1998: 10:36 p.m. ET NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Leading personal computer makers are poised to benefit from the same strong demand that led Intel to forecast a stronger than expected third quarter. Compaq Computer Corp. (CPQ) is seeing the same positive trends that are boosting Intel's fortunes, an executive told CNNfn on Thursday. North America and Europe "look good" for Compaq in the current quarter, said John Rose, senior vice president of the company. Those areas were cited by Intel in its disclosure Thursday of a stronger earnings outlook. Compaq is Intel's largest customer. Rose acknowledged that Asia remains a difficult area, but he said even within that region, China, India and Malaysia are bright spots. kewise, Dell Computer Corp. (DELL) is having a "great" third quarter in spite of economic and financial turmoil around the world, Chairman Michael Dell said Thursday, the Reuters news service reported. "The third quarter is going great and there is no change in our outlook from what we said at the end of the second quarter," Dell told reporters in Dallas, where he spoke at an economic forum. He did not give further details, but said he did not expect economic crisis in Asia and turmoil in the world's financial markets to drag down his company's growth. "It is true that some of these markets might be in a period of economic contraction, but that doesn't mean Dell can't grow even in that period," he said. Dell has consistently exceeded expectations for its growth. From staff and wire reports
