They need to have some form of high speed communication between them. Uucp over a high speed modem over a leased telephone line may suffice. I am concerned about the reliability of uucp, however. What are my other options. Priorities: 1) Integrity of data. 2) Minimum maintenance. 3) Throughput. 4) Cost. Thanks: All responses will be greatly appreciated. If I get enough responses I will summarize. I also welcome any suggestions about a more appropriate or specific group to which this question should be posted. -- | Email - !uunet!ulticorp!ultixrs!rick Rick Poleshuck | Voice - (201) 887-9222 Ext. 755 | Mail - The Ultimate Corporation, East Hanover, NJ 07936
