Good point. Another option would be to get 512/1024 Kbps (symmetric) DSL connection and setup site2site VPN. Multimode fiber connection within the campus or or Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) to connect offices within a metro area are other possibilities. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
