- Are your connectivity needs bursty or relatively constant? If you only
- need 56k at certain times of the day and *nothing* most of the time,
- then you should investigate dialup IP routers. Models like the Telebit
- NetBlazer offer inverse multiplexing, carrying traffic between two
- LANs over several dialup lines for effective baud rates of 56k and
- higher. The box makes connections transparently based on IP address,
- so all you see is a brief delay when the initial call is made. This
- solution will be exceptionally cost effective for your sites within
- local phone call distance from each other.
