I have the same setup, except I have a factory in another state. The
version that we are running is 5.1.116. We use Terminal server and run it
across a dedicated T1. Speed is fine. The bandwidth of the T1 is more than
enough. Hope this helps.

Subject: [Vantage] Off Topic: Best solution for 1 of 2 divisions moving

Hello again. I've read many of your ideas on this subjectin the
past,but never thought it would be an issue here. Here's the
scenario... We have 2 divisions within 100' of eachother, so
currently we have Vantage on the NT server at division 1.(The NT
server is 600MHz w/ dual processor and there is a Novell 4.11 server,
we use NDS for NT to admin from Novell). Division 2 is attached with
underground fiber and hubs to the LAN. With Vantage (5.00.329) we
use Company Maintenance to seperate them as 2 different companies.
You should also know that we only use dialups for internet and have
no firewall on the network.

There is a possibility that one of the divisions will be moving to
another location 2-3 miles away. I will be calling Epicor to find
out what our licensing options are if we decide to seperate it into 2
LANs running Vantage on each. Any input there would be great, but
what I'm really picking your brain for is T1 and similar options,
especially being that close to eachother, and no exceptionally high
buildings in between that I am aware of. Speed issues, hardware and
software suggestions, wireless options and things to be aware of in
general through your knowledge and experience. Thank you so much!!
