Hi Jim,

How many users in a remote office can one reasonably support with a
business dsl circuit 3.0 mbps downstream and 384 kbps upstream?
Each pc using Client Access (telnet).

Only telnet? No file transfer? No web? No ODBC? No E-mail? Is that correct?

You should be able to handle quite a lot of users in that case. I'd say 50 or so.

That assumes that the 384 speed is the upload speed from the iSeries to the user. If the 3.0 mbps is the upload speed, I'd say you can handle a lot more users. 200 users easily over a 3 megabit upload speed.

Now, if the users will be doing anything that requires sustained network traffic (ODBC, file transfers, etc) then the numbers will come way down. But for 5 users, it should still be more than enough.
