Re: remote site access iSeries via dsl

Printers are more the limiting factor for remote sites than green screen sessions. Just a few high-speed printers can eat up all of your bandwidth very quickly. IBM used to publish a set of guidelines for SDLC circuits by printer model but I wouldn't know where to begin to look for it.
The upstream 384 should be more than adequate. I'm assuming that the central site has a T-1 or larger connection. I would not use DSL at the central site.

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).
Looking for actual experiences. This is for 2 remote sites of 5 or so users each, and would be similar dsl at both iSeries & each remote site. Moderate accounting usage all day. Is dsl too light for this? The 384 upstream scares me. Would plan some level of router to router tunnel.
