RE: central and remote offices comm green screen

Jim,

You need to check with your local telco. Speeds vary depending on your plan and local offering. In my personal case, my DSL is provided by Verizon at Baltimore, MD, and download is about 1Mbps, and upload about 256Kbps.

My situation is all tcp. Currently sites have an old Advanced 36.
This brings them on a i5-520.

Chuck - what up and down speed does that dsl have (if you know).
Some are only 256 (kbps) up to 3Mkbps or more.

I would call around to the major phone companies. There are a LOT
of package services coming out these days. I just reduced my phone
bill by over $75 a month by switching to a new business bundle that
includes 2 phone lines and DSL and unlimited long distance.

That's all for $129 a month. Business lines here are typically $60 a line
plus all those taxes. My bill for three lines was well over $200 when
the long distance got thrown in.

Verizon and all the phone companies are very much aware of all
the deals and it appears that they are going to make sure they
don't lose all of it.

DSL will not help much for green screens using a remote controller.

The BOS controller is able to deal with that.

How are they currently communicating ???

Remotes may have 10 or so remote users, some lasers, some barcode read &

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?
