Lori,

Along the lines of what Mike mentioned... RF/Spread Spectrum technology has
become remarkably affordable.
Cisco makes/acquired a product line:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wireless/aironet/ that I
evaluated until our need went away because we decided to run fibre.

One of the things that Chucking Machine Products did when they were in that
situation was to add a hub that worked on RF and install small dishes on
each building. This stopped the need for a 24 hr dedicated line and gave
them faster communication than a modem would have (faster - but certainly
not dsl or t1 speed). This allowed data collection and office work to
continue at both locations. The best part was when the facility closed
(they were building an addition and rented nearby in the meantime) they sold
the equipment for almost the same value.

I know that the question has been on the list before but I need some
clarification and some advice. We are moving part of our operation into a
second location which is about 2 blocks from our main building. I need to
have at least one computer accessing Vantage from that location. What is the
best solution to setting up a remote client? Will a modem with an acceptable
speed work?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Will you have a network connection to your second location? I'm assuming no.
Just using a Dial-Up connection alone will be too slow.

If you are using a slower connection that 10BaseT,
you would definitely want to consider using Terminal Server.
I've run it with a 56K connection and it is not very acceptable
even with Terminal server. A 128K ISDN or greater would work fine
in conjunction with a Terminal server.
