I'd like to add a nutty suggestion, it's a little over the top but if
we're all just spitting in the wind, I might as well also...

Seeing as how some people are hung up on the bandwidth issue, and
trading serial numbers isn't a real honest option, so I propose the
following...

( Mind you this *idea* would really only be valuable between people
that trust each other, but I digress...)

What if the admin server could somehow communicate with another admin
server located *wherever* to find out how much bandwidth that server
is *not* using in order to boost it's own BW limit when it needs to.
For instance, say Brian or Stefan are giving a presentation in a week
and they are tight for BW so I give them my IP and a password (I
enter their IP and the same password in my admin). Their admin
server can now call my admin server too see what I'm *not* using in
terms of FCS BW so it can boost its own.

Any bandwidth cost would be incurred by Brian or Stefan because
*their* FCS was temporarily boosted in bandwidth by the amount I
wasn't using (my FCS would be crippled by the amount *leant* to the
other FCS license(s)) - it's not actually directing streams to *my*
server. And I don't see how it could even be used as a crude form of
load balancing so it's of no real threat to large outfits or even MM.

But it does allow the little people to share resources for a short
amount of time while at the same time keeping people honest. If
several people on this list traded IP's it would mean they
*potentially* had access to a 70MB BW cap for a presentation.

I personally own a Pro license that uses 2% of my 2 Terabyte monthly
BW cap. So I could potentially be helping people on the list through
a tight spot quite easily if we had the means to do so.
