Apache 2 Dialup Speed

Hello,

I'm wondering how fast a dialup Apache 2 site would serve the pages in
comparison to IIS?

My connection is ~53333bps.

Thanks.

The limiting factor here is the dialup connection, not Apache or IIS. You
will be able to get content from these servers at the same rate. (However
you could use compression with Apache, don't know if you can with IIS, which
would improve your performance in a low bandwidth environment.)

More to the point, how would anyone connect to a dial-up service.
Your ip changes every time you connect to the net.

Cool thanks for the info. But do you have more information about
Apache compression? I can't seem to find information on the web. For
some reason all I'm getting is either archive compression or DUN
compression, which I don't believe have anything to do with apache.

Well, that would be the maximum allowed "download" speed (from the
Internet TO your computer) in the USA due to FCC regulations.

Technically, the maximum "upload" speed (from your server into the
Internet) would be max. 33.6KBit/sec. only anyway....

Yes It can be instant if you shop arround or even better pay for a
Dynamic IP service.

I host my site and e-mail server on dial up and have done for 2-3
years,It used to cutout every 4hours under session limits changing the
IP,however now it get about 34 hours session limits which is more
friendly as Internet becomes cheaper in the area.

It can handle about 2-3 concurrent requests if the pages are small in
size like 7 kb or with not so many graphics ect with a possible 5 but
can get annoying in time for the request to be processed by the requester.

Not recommended for a Mirror server by any chance or serving downloads
I mainly use this an an Intranet which happens to be visable for ease of
use ect.,however I had to cleanup when the GoggleBot found my /pub/
folder and spread NOT redistribuable software all through google search.lol

For instant IP updates for your own Tld doamin do user@bash#dig my
e-mail domain
