You require a STATIC IP and since more than 4 connections would require more bandwidth than what is provided by DSL or Cable modem a full T1 or better would be required. All of the current reflectors utilize at minimum a full bi-directional T1 (1.54mb) Each connection requires about 32 kb of “sustained” bandwidth As for the machine any higher end Pentium 166 or better with 64 meg of RAM (the more the better) , a 1G HD and a NIC card will do. No sound card required. All Reflectors utilize special software which is administered by Dave VE7LTD who you should contact for more details dcameron@irlp.net Having said that we have so much surplus bandwidth and unused sub channels of existing reflectors we strongly urge you to contact a reflector operator and ask for a sub channel assignment.
