Whoa!
Sorry about that...I sometimes forget how spoiled I am with broadband all
over the place.
Other than that I have no constructive input! ;)

Have you ever tried to update 15 machines a day over a 56kb modem, when
there
are 50 or megs of updates for each machine? I only what to cache the cab
files, nothing else. When we move to ADSL, we will have a 19cent per MB
charge. So even that's not going to help much. All we need to cache is the
updates themselves, they don't change, we don't care about anything else on
the site(although the pictures appear to be giving hits). Can I do that?
