This isn't unrealistic.  It's a bit on the high end.  I pay about
50 cents/meg at Digex, $1/meg at remote sites, and $2/meg for RAID
with high update accessibility.

Remember, at $1/meg, a 1 gig drive on a Linux box connected to a
frame-relay card starts to look very attractive.  The LAN interface
quickly expands to support more products, services, and servers.
