I suspect that this is an often asked question, but here goes anyway... Background: Our company is setting up a new network configuration. Part of that new network involves two geographically separate offices. Our intention is to set up a leased line between the two offices for purposes of data communication. There will exist in each office Ethernet-based networks communicating via TCP/IP and NFS or RFS (undecided). We need a way to connect the networks over the leased data line. Questions: My understanding is that a pair of routers on each end is the way to go. Is that correct? What kind of router hardware/software is available? What brand of router hardware/software is good? What brand of router hardware/software is inexpensive? Are there other alternatives? Any and all help is appreciated. Please e-mail responses, and I'll summarize to the net if appropriate. Thanks! David Klann Heurikon Corporation <backbone>!uwvax!heruikon!dklann Thank God, it's finally RAINING!
