what operating system/environment was that?  ftp.cdrom.com, running
freebsd, serves over 9 trillion Bytes/month to over 2 million
sessions/month; this system runs on a single pentium pro system
connected to a 100Mb fast ethernet.  considering it is connected
to 4 scsi controllers controlling 32 disk volumes, i would think
that this system doesn't run at 80% (it allows up to 3200 simultaneous
ftp sessions, and is connected to "multiple" DS3 and OC3 circuits
by virtue of being colocated in CRL's network).
