It seems simple enough, but I'd like to have an idea about the amount of
bandwidth this will be consuming. As I understand it, this would be just
a special kind of link to which only certain sites connect from time to
time - being once a week in this case. Is this assumption correct? I'm
sorry but I didn't have time yet to get but a basic idea of the whole
thing.
How do you go at this? Can TLDP give me a test account, or shall I set it
up on my own servers first, for testing?
I remember having thought that I wouldn't have time to do it myself, but
I've changed my mind :)
Tille.
