If you can cut down on your need for the filesharing, a bunch of modems and
a central site work wonders.
I wonder if you can "optimise out" your need for high bandwidth?
One of my clients has regular inter-store deliveries, and a zip drive at
every location... Who needs bandwidth when you've got large payload
