It would be enough out.  But what is the CIR on the line?
(Committed rate - the bps they guarantee on the link between
the CO and your ISP.  It can be as low as 32kpbs!  These links
are usually ATM or frame relay.  We get to play with uncommitted
bandwidth, but if the network gets busy, it will slow us down,
often by dropping packets...)
