[LUAU] TCP/IP WANs

[Danny Lapitan]

Take a look at http://www.pacificglobal.net, there is a link that'll take
 you to there ADSL page. It covers pricing and FAQ's on ADSL. 

What sorta speeds were you looking to get? and where are these links
located? right now, ADSL is not available in all areas but on most areas
of OAHU. Guaranteed availability at this point is around the downtown
area. The entire island of Oahu should be covered in a couple more
months. You'll get a complete listing of all available areas on the
website.

I would recommend you going with ADSL versus Frame relay and Road Runner
simply because of the cost and security involved with cable. It doesnt
require a CSU/DSU besides the modem which will be provided to the
customer. And being that it's on a _switched_ network, you'll feel a lot
more comfortable than you would with Road Runner. 

	As far as bandwidth is concerned, the bottleneck will be at only
one location, which is at GTE, unlike road runner where the bottleneck is
within your *community*. With frame, it would really depend on the
frame provider. 

	For the LAN, you can setup DHCP/PROXY to give everyone access to
the net. UNIX or NT should be perfect to take care of all this for you.
That sounds like a lot of fun!! ;)

	ADSL is a secure, and cost-effective solution for any
business....try looking more into it..HTH!!
