hi all, looking at setting up 2 remote offices 1 with 10 pc's 2 printers and one with 4 pc's and 2 printers. don't need anything super fast using 10/100 at main site with 50 users, most things are data entry. is there a cheap clean way to connect these sites together without t-1's etc. would a dsl work reliably? or isdn bri? any suggestions are greatly appreciated..
 
You could look at Isdn BRI with frame relay or DSL connection with vpn (just a guess [ponder] )
 
My personal view would be dsl connections with VPN enabled DSL routers. Would recommend IPSec enabled routers rather than PPTP. Also remember the router in the main office would need to allow multiple (in your case 2) VPN tunnels. Haven't actually rolled out such a configuration, but have been thinking of such for a couple of weeks.
 
Just a quick additonal item, would also be wise in getting a larger DSL in the main site.
