Hi Arlen: If you are planning on going to a location that has a fast connection to run your demo, then it is clear that you are planning on running this demo on your computer, not your customer’s computer. This being the case, why not just install a web server on your demo machine and serve yourself your own demo slides at little more than just the lag of your own hard drive? The Apache web server (the open source industry standard), is free to download and install for practically every platform, or you can use the web server that comes with most versions of Windows, or most current versions of the Mac OS. This approach being cheaper, easier, and reliably faster than a T1 connection, as your hard drive usually has a faster data transfer rate than your network interface. Just my $0.02 Regards, Phil Garrow Mechanical Designer Computer Tech -----Original Message----- From: hidden-discuss-bounces at lists.hidden-tech.net [mailto:hidden-discuss-bounces at lists.hidden-tech.net] On Behalf Of Arlen Collins Sent: Friday, March 14, 2008 10:34 AM To: hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net Subject: [Hidden-tech] Rent time on T!? We have developed a demo that makes one of our products appear as if it were through actual portal access. We have tried a number of web demo services and have the same problem with all of them: they take way too long to go from "slide to slide" - up to 25 seconds for a complex screen. After some pretty lengthy diagnostic work we have traced the problem to the slow transfer of the screen scrape data to the service, despite our having DSL. We have looked into other DSL packages and with the highest available upload speeds only being 2X or 3X what we have, we believe that we would still have an unacceptable result. Is there any place out there that anyone knows about that might have T1 or faster service where we could rent time to do our demos? Obviously, we know we would have to go to their site and hook up a laptop, and that would not be a problem for us if it were in or close to Amherst. Thanks for any replies Arlen Collins RxEMEDIA No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG.
