Satellite is pretty much out of the question if she is planning on telecommuting via SSH, IPSEC, or (yeeesh) PPTP. The latency just won't allow it. Also, I have found that a few satellite providers are using NAT and PAT at the central dish, so most VPN technologies won't work. You might want to look into frame relay from the telco, and have her get her employerr to pay for it ;-) -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Tact is just *not* saying true stuff" -- Cordelia Chase Kenneth E.
