Great thoughts and help on this thread so far. Yes, I also have DSL at
mine own home office. I pay considerably more than the typical
household DSL cost, and for the extra $$$, I not only get the
synchronous (two-way) speed, but also get 90 to 100% of the rated
speed all the time.
It took a lot of tinkering by tech support and the phone company to get
it to really work at that rate. When it was first installed, it was not
noticably better than a modem.
The real DSL question, then, is not really a DSL question, but a
bandwidth question. How much web serving/tango serving can we get
for a certain bandwidth (understanding that the bandwidth shared with
the internet business going on at the workstations in the office.)
For their location, in an industrial park, I would guess they can pay for
almost anything from 256kbps up to 1.5m. But they are cheap, and
have a board of directors that will try to get but for the smallest fixed
monthly fees possible. I doubt 256k will be good enough, but I have a
"feeling" that 740k or so might do very nicely for them. Can anyone
confirm my "feeling" with statistics about hits per day, average query
times, etc, for any particular bandwidth.
If they have "good enough" bandwidth, and a fast tango server with lots
of memory, I'm thinking they'll be satisfied.
Bill
