The network bandwidth I was referring to was mostly from whatever upstream IDD node that will feed you to your machine.

Thank you very much. What is the format of the GOES-9 imagery? If it is McIDAS AREA format, then GEMPAK will be able to display the images with very little work. As far as the model data, this should be simple enough if you are using the Unidata distribution of GEMPAK/NAWIPS. Are you using the Unidata distribution? If yes, I will turn your question over to a different Unidata staff member for additional help. I must let you know, however, that he will be out of the office until next Wednesday. Also, I have been trying to SSH to your machine for the past several minutes, and I am not able to do so. Is the machine up? >Bye for now and best regards.
