Its not like I'm worried as > I am on an uncapped plan but more just interested. > The answer is it depends, if you are on a well locked down connction not much but if you are on a completely open connection (i'm not sure what the defintion of completely open is) then you can end up as either a supernode (which holds the network together) or a router node (which routes calls for nodes that are too heavilly firewalled to talk directly). There have been reports of such nodes using insane ammounts of bandwidth (one report claimed it saturated a 100 megabit per second link!) though I have also heared that in more recent times skype has put some limits on so no one user bears too much of a burdan. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
