No problemo, just wish I had some hard statistics to go along with it.

Yep. I don't know the current user count as I left the project last year, but I understand it's well above that now.
>What is the WAN speed?
When I left, the lines from the larger remote stations were being upgraded to 128k, split between the WAN and AS-400 traffic. The smaller stations were going to be stuck with 64k lines for a while. I don't know the current capabilities.

The RV's were in a DBC installed locally on each workstation, as some of our stations didn't have a LAN (heck, some of them didn't have much more than a desk and chair).
