RE: central and remote offices comm green screen

Jim,

We have 11 sites across Indiana. Two are very big and have T1's. The rest
(except for one) are on a frame relay network (but we are looking into
switching them all over to T1's). The one exception was a new site last
year. We needed them up ASAP and the frame side of AT&T was going to take
forever. The DSL side could do it in less then a week. So to get them
rolling we went business class DSL with the plan to add them to the frame
when the time came. And we have yet to do that because their response time
has been fine. They are one of our smallest sites.

5 users with PC's
3 dumb terminals
2 IBM 4230 line printers
1 HP LaserJet
1 BOS 4828 e-Twinstar Controller

Subject: central and remote offices comm green screen

Have a small customer with 2 or 3 remote offices.
Home site has a 6 pc's w/Client Access.
Remotes may have 10 or so remote users, some lasers, some barcode read &
print. Some small file upload/download.
All green screen.
DSL provider claims cable is bad.
Cable provider claims dsl is bad.
Either would be "business class", not home.
One site across the country.
T1 too much.
Want a router to router tunnel from central to remote sites.
Is one (cable vs dsl) really better than other?
