We are working with multi-branch set up in our clients offices. We have 1 mbps triband lines connecting each of the branches. Even with that, and with ssh tunneling set up, we find the set up a problem. I suspect the 64kb line is going to be a source of frustration in client server arch environment.
Wow !! you got to be doing some very heavy stuff over those links. Are you replicating the databases on all the locations ? This requirement of multi-branches would mean that the app would need to work with a master-client kind of architecture so that each site can contain only restricted data as well as centralized reporting be feasible. If we do have a broadband kind of setup, is the idea of setting up a dyndns based hosting an option ? It works even over dialups, though not very reliable if the connection is flaky. A web based interface should serve well in this case, or even a web-service based one. - Navneet -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
