Hi
OK I am a little confused here, you say "Frame relay is not an option
because all of the sites are within about __15 miles__ of the central site I
have chosen as their hub, and their bandwidth needs are such that a T1 is
feasible."
So does this mean that you think FR is not an option because all of the
sites are a short distance away from the hub site?
If this is your answer... FR can be done between floors of a building, just
because they close doesn't mean that you can not use it. In fact in it is
cheaper than doing to another state for example.
If your customer is truly short on cash to do this, then putting in 6 point
to point T1's is going to be WAY more expensive than FR. In most markets a p
to p T1 is more per month than the equivalent FR line, not to mention the
cost of a router to handle 6 T1's is going to be quite a bit more than one
that can handle 6 PVCs.
