Maybe I already said it on this list, but yes, bandwidth is a crucial
issue for RULE potential users. In addition to what Ingo explained
above, I can add that in many of those places, often the call is not
only long (time) it is also long *distance* price!
To give an idea of how much this is a problem in some countries, I've
been asked to send a tarball of the whole web site (and you all know
how small and lean it is) so that potential users could browse it
quickly *and* without spending too much.
Ciao,
