[AG-TECH] Qns on network

[Bob Riddle]

well ... it depends on how much bandwidth your AG session will require 
and how much bandwidth is available for you to consume on the DSL 
network.  You could do a simple experiment to simulate the AG session 
and then sniff the network for the bandwidth requirements - then run 
something like the NLANR iperf from end to end across the DSL link and 
see if the necessary bandwidth is available.
