WAN

[Ken Hughes]

Craig,

What kind of traffic will be going over the WAN? Does he run some sort of
POS software or something?

The last post sounds promising depending on the price.  According to the
site you are looking @ $85 for 128k and $115 for 256k. Also Ricochet
(www.ricochet.com) is finally here in the valley. I don't know it's
availability but you might want to check them out.

FWIW, I have a client in the airpark who is using speedchoice (sprint)
successfully. I can't say it has been a pleasant process (we were down for 3
days because they forgot to schedule an appointment to upgrade our
equipment) but it gets the job done.
