We allow for a few types of connections. There are two servers: one inside our firewall and one outside. The outside one is on the web and the users can see a demo of our software. It's tolerable at 28.8.

The real users of our software connect to our other Citrix server. They can connect via the web or dial-in through a modem-pool that we've setup. The web connections are some kind of VPN-type setup. We have to have a static IP address for every connection for security reasone. We also have an office in Chicago with 2-3 users that connect on our 215kbps frame-relay connection. They see a lot of speed degredation but we also have email, internet, netware and voice-over-frame on that connection also.

Anyway, getting to the point. We have one client that uses 28.8 dialup only and another that connects over their existing internet connection. I'm not sure of their speed but it's probably all, or at least, part of a T1. One of their users is in London and connects via their 28.8 WAN connection to Menlo Park, CA which is the office with the fat internet pipe. She shares that WAN connection with the other few people in her office. Obviously she sees the most amount of lag.

She would love to have ISDN!
