** One outside phone line connected to a 28.8kbps V.34 modem going to a
class C full subnet internet service provider account can provide internet
access for a network of 50-60 mixed or single platform CPU's with
individual IPs for each unit. Users have their own login, password and
accounts. We do this using a Cathedra Concept server, which handles all the
routing, cacheing and accounts. You do NOT need a router or CSU/DSU.
In addition, we have recently eliminated the phone line and V.34 modem and
use a wireless radio modem with outside antenna to our ISP. With the
current upgrade to a 1 watt radio modem, we have a dedicated 57.6Kbps
internet connection with NO monthly phone line charge or connect time
charge. We pay a flat yearly ISP access fee. The critical piece here is
getting an ISP who will work with you to set up the account and work with
the antenna for the wireless modem. Oh, yea... you also need the Cathedra
server.
Just as a note, we hooked up Internet phone last night and demonstrated
that you can make voice calls anywhere in the world over Internet with NO
long distance charges. You use your full time internet connection and talk
voice through the computer. You need at least a DX2 CPU and a fast line
connection. An SX class CPU chops the voice signals and drops words.
