Cisco Systems has an ethernet/modem/V.34 sync serial card that handles frame relay for ~$1795; the government (school?) cost is ~$1495. The rate limit on the v.34 is 2.048Mb/S (European "T1"). Line install and modem for single PVC to a cloud is ~$1000 (US West). Line costs are (apparently) $99/Month (56k) or $395/Month (T1). More information available from Cisco + US West (or your own RBOC). Terry Lambert terry@cs.weber.edu --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
