Hardware for Internet providers



Hello,

just curious...

which hardware configuration (i.e. how many CRAY-I computers :-) an 
ISP company needs to open a business. ? 

For instance, on users side - multichannel phone, 28800 modem on each 
channel; an ATM || ISDN || Framerelay connection with its own 
provider; large Pentium server with 5-10 GB storage space and 128 Mb 
memory, tape backups etc.

I've been told that Pentium is not enough for large number of 
simultaneous connections. Since then, I think that they should work 
with Sun stations...

Best regards,
