Re: Bandwidth Monitoring?

Chris-

Is that something that's set up on the router level? We don't have our own
router, so I'm not sure we can do it that way. I agree, using log files
isn't perfect, but since we don't allow anon ftp (anyone who allows anon
FTP on an NT/IIS server is asking for it, in my opinion), that's not that
big an issue.

Thanks,

Jason
