You'll need three PCs, one for each site, to house the firewall+VPN software. You don't need to have a top of the line PC -- the specs for the People's PC should do. That would set you back about PhP16K per PC.
Couple each PC with a DSL connection. Cost depends on the bandwidth you require. A 1Mbps PLDT bizDSL would set you back around PhP8K a month. Try to get the same vendor for the DSL for all three sites, so you stay within their network infrstructure, avoiding the delays caused by the ISPs' interconnection, or lack thereof. Some companies like PLDT offer free PCs with the DSL subscriptions, and at least PLDT's specs of their free PCs is more than enough for the fw+vpn requirements. For the firewall and VPN software, any distro would do. --- mike t. --- jan gestre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi guys, > > i need your input on these, our company plans to put > up a vpn > interconnecting three offices for database > synchronization/replication, our company will be the > main/central > database, synchonizing with the other two offices, > how much do you it > would cost to put up this project(hardware, > infrastructure) using open > source technology.
