You have a budget and you don't know what you need to buy yet? Nice work if you
can get it :>
But what quality of service are you wanting to provide?
And what is the anticipated traffic profile?
Are they corporate users or general public?
Are you talking about internet bandwidth, internal bandwidth or bandwidth to your
customer
connections?
What speed dialups are these? 56K? Less? ISDN?
How many concurrent connections?
Oh, and, er, can these users do web browsing? If so, you'd best hang out in a
web-traffic
list as that will dominate your bandwidth requirements.
