Sounds pretty much straight forward.
>In your reply to Nancy, you mentioned a concern about using DSL. DSL can be pretty fast. Do you anticipate a lot of traffic hitting this server? If it's not substantially more than you were getting via the company intranet, then I don't think it'd be a problem, but again, I'm no expert so take that with a grain of salt.

It all of course depends on the traffic. And this is something that is completely unknown to me or to the customer. I think for now I have enough information to go to them and make an informal presentation on what would be involved. I know, from past experience, that if they say Go Ahead, it will be one of those jobs where I will learn a lot and will be making minimum wage of year 1900 <g>.
Thank you for your help.
