What is the monthly bandwidth use of the dot? 

I have a dedicated server running at Verio that is extremely reliable. It's a 
Linux machine, PIII Coppermine, 256 megs RAM, Apache (latest), Mysql, etc. 
18gb SCSI drive is doing about 25mb/sec, at 45% capacity. 

Latest uptime:

  2:30pm  up 349 days, 22:00,  1 user,  load average: 0.12, 0.14, 0.13

It hosts about 20 sites currently and is pretty underutilized. Other sites 
include http://www.groupit.org, http://www.digitalspinner.com, 
http://www.marketingtool.com, etc. I've had a machine at Verio since 1998, 
and it will be staying there at least until mid-2003. 

As far as the network connection, you can find more at 
http://www.dedicatedserver.com. There is plenty of bandwidth, to be sure, 
plus the facility is in Alexandria, VA with good performance across the 
Atlantic. 

If noone else of greater strategic importance steps up to donate hosting 
resources then I'd be happy to provide a home for the dot. 

Sean.
