talk to your ISP, see what they can do for you. Ask them for a pure IP connection, no p2p or vpn or whatever complex stuff that they can screw up and charge you through the nose for. State that most of your traffic will not leave the country. Ask them if they can provide that traffic cheaper than the international traffic you will generate. Make them specify which speeds you will get where. If you can not find 1 ISP that can deliver, have 2. They should be interconnecting. Keep insisting on cheaper local traffic rates with both.
Then create your own VPN (if that is what you need) You can also install skype on each client, and host your email in Kampala on a server, which is a bit more messy, but way less complex than anything you will do over a VPN. (and thus, cheaper). just my 2cts. -- rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 782 801 749 www.mountbatten.net Do you have a businessplan?
