[comp.dcom.lans] Remote ethernet conn?

matt@iquery.UUCP (Matt Reedy) (07/27/89)

What are my options for connecting a 30-station PC ethernet in Atlanta with
a 5-station PC ethernet in San Antonio?  Do dial-up interface units exist,
or would I need a leased line?  Anyone have a rough guess as to the cost of
a remote link unit?  What kind of speed can I expect over such a link?  Any 
and all help/suggestions are GREATLY appreciated.

In order to have to lans (remotely) connect, you will need to employ some
form of communications bridge.  You can use a variety of connection methods,
such as X.25, T1 or satellite link, depending on your need for speed and 
the budget requirements.  One company that I am familiar with do offer good
products to accomplish this - Eicon Technologies of Ottawa, Ont. Canada.

In order to be more specific, I would need to know what software you are
using on the Lans.
