I fail to understand how this scheme could possibly help real time. Unless that is, you are stuck with an ISP with limited connectivity and happen to have a fast connection to some server which has a better ISP. The other posibility is if you could get permision to setup a damaen capable of translating a stream into a lower bandwidth stream to which you then connect via the new streams software. But either of these are really a large task to be undertaken and not likely to happen unless you happen to run your own co-located server, or have a friend who runs one. I just can't imagine an administrator leisurely handing out such permsions. And if you are at the point of asking if this can be done via telnet, I doubt you are proficient enough to be ready for the task. -- Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net ------------------ It's not reality that's important, but how you perceive things.
