I read some of the previous emails suggesting fiber, ISDN and a T-1 circuit.
Another option you may want to consider is an xDSL (ADSL, HDSL, SDSL,
whatever) connection -- basically you rent a copper pair from the telco
($20-40/month where I live), and hook up a pair of xDSL "modems" on either
end.
Speeds up to E1 (probably faster), cheap monthly rates, and the equipment is
not at all expensive (You can do 768kbps for around $1700.00). I'd
recommend Pairgain (www.pairgain.com) -- they have a great selection of
products (I like the Megabit/Campus lines.) Over the long run, far cheaper
than a T-1 circuit, simpler than fiber, and faster than ISDN. (Depends on
your needs, I guess..)
Hope this helps.

Subject: Dial-in-Server
My company has just acquired a new site which is about 2 kilometers from our
present location. At the present site i have a linux box (Red Hat 2.0.36
Kernel) which provides file sharing for windows users on the lan (with
Samba). The linux box also masqs for the windows users on the network (in
the private 198.168.*.* ip series numbers) to provide www and email
services.
When the new site is up and runnning i would like to provide file sharing
for the remote windows machines on our linux server so that both sites can
share databases etc.
If anyone has any suggestions about how to implement this in an effecive
and cost effective way (dial in, direct cable etc) i'd be grateful
Regards,
Stephen
