There used to be information about how many people were logged in to FR at any given time. It was kind of a neat thing to know.

It was removed because of a severe performance penalty due to each hit causing a database update. I have, in theory, a better way of doing it now, I'd like to try it again later.

I would guess, from the telco's perspective, voice and digital circuits are similar if not one-in-the-same, and the pricing would probably be similar as well. I don't really know, I have neither. We're colocated with Verio in San Jose. We don't need no stinkin' CSU/DSU or other telco headaches.

HTTP 1.1 is probably the default on capable browsers. I haven't ever needed to switch it on, but somebody may. Thanks for pointing that out.

It's been a lot of fun getting this system tuned to handle the war time traffic. I've learned much about the guts of the technology we use here. I cried when I realized there was nothing left to tune. :-D We need more traffic! More tuning! MORE TUNING!

It was useful. If it got down to 100 or so, it was a signal to go do some of the stuff you should have been doing instead of staying logged in past your bedtime.
