The problem I described is that the Windows machines in question are not necessarily dedicated web servers, but can be regular dial-in users. Normally, such users don't run a web server over dial-up, yet they seem to be vulnerable if the attack occurs while they're connected. No relation to the connection bandwidth was implied.
Yes, we have noticed a few dialups that are infected. So, it has happened. Damon -- "UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things." --Doug Gwyn
