I used to do this over VodafoneAU GPRS many moons ago...<BR>

Yea come on guys.<BR>
<BR>
Botnet providers would only need maybe 10 bots to successfully bring<BR>
down a 100mbit datacenter connection without the bot infected pc<BR>
owners finding out.<BR>
<BR>
Or even better, you could brute force a data center server and have<BR>
the only bottleneck being both end-points processors, no longer the<BR>
slow 6mbit DSL or such.<BR>
<BR>
Think of the positives guys!<BR>
<BR>
But more importantly. I like the fact that I could actually get<BR>
employee's to start working properly from home. E.G, they have a<BR>
netbook loaded up with just a thin client then they have their work<BR>
pc, that they can connect from they're home 100mbit fibre, work<BR>
100mbit LAN or 42mbit (Telstra's just about got them out) mobile<BR>
internet card. Seriously, when I can have mobile employee's connecting<BR>
to a virtualised pc at work, my life becomes a lot easier.<BR>
<BR>
Also, the other positive is the possibility for people to be able to<BR>
do home / SoHo offsite backups. House fires, floods and other natural<BR>
disasters... Thief... All wouldn't matter as much anymore. Because<BR>
your data would be safe...<BR>
<BR>
Just my 2 cents.<BR>
