> Upload speed sucks on ADSL. That depends on your provider. You can often work out the best deal for you, depending on your needs. For the office (usually two of us, but as many as 6-9 machines, including servers, on a busy day) I've got 6M down, 2M up, fixed IP address, for under $60/mo. For remote access by only one or two individuals, RDP or VNC under SSH, response is quite adequate, and the lower latency of DSL actually makes it feel perkier than slower-latency cable connections rated higher. For sustained file transfer, sure, you'll see the bottleneck. It's not the blazing fast speed of first-class fiber or big enterprises, but it's usually not too restrictive. Jeff: whether this can meet your needs depends on what it is you're trying to do. VFP access over VPN or even using ODBC (it really doesn't matter) will not be acceptable, but lower-bandwidth applications like email or client-server might be okay, depending on the specifics of speed, number of users, size of files/requests, bandwidth, phase of the moon, etc. Telling us more details on what you're trying to do might get more accurate recommendations. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4vbytustmtwbtsdn3p2ogdvnhfkbbhrtl-z3+t3rcn...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
