Re: Frame Relay - How much bandwidth is enough?

It may cost more, but try to get one vendor to "do it all".  Several vendors 
will lead to a lot of finger pointing WHEN a problem
arises.

I am currently tasked with setting up a sister company so they can run off
of our AS/400.  We are leaning toward frame relay and my first (probably of
many) question is this.  Are there any rules of thumb or tools that help
determine how much bandwidth is enough?  All the vendors obviously want to
sell you as much as they can and we don't want to "over" buy.  Also, has
anyone had good luck/experiences with a particular vendor, or more
importantly bad luck/experience?  Thanks in advance.
