Re: WAS : Starspeeder NOW - ISDN Internet Access

[geraint@xxxxxxx]

Looks that way to me as well...

if i use Highway with no call allowance (won't need as this is purely=20
for 0800 internet access), then it'll cost =A327 per quarter, whereas=20
isdn2e costs =A335 for the same....

The only thing I can't find out info on is wether highway has any=20
issues when running via a router, as in effect I want to have the=20
whole network (6 clients) able to ask directly, including the=20
exchange server dialing in for mail etc...

I think it should be ok, so i'm basically looking at about =A3100 per=20
month for 128k access 24/7.....
makes you sick to think the adsl boys get much faster links for =A340 a=20
month...

Regards
Geraint.
