No.  We were pushing over a gigabit earlier this week.  Now admittedly,
that was the total for all our servers - IIRC it was 1.2Gbps from our
London facility and 0.31Gbps from our NY facility - but if we were to
use a small number of z800s instead of a large number of Suns, we'd
certainly need more than 100Mbps from each.
