It would be interesting to compare both land lines and satellite circuits vis-a-vis the station wagon or parcel delivery. **************************************************************** You asked for it, you got it! I will assume the 2000-miles are between the two AT&T Communications Serving Office, with another 3 miles on either end to get from the SOs to the end location. I further assume that the T-1 will terminate in host computers, rather than a switch, to avoid the $36.25 per channel per end surcharge. Without going into details (which are available on request), that 2000-mile T-1 circuit will run you 2*(452.9+3*34.13+21)+1400+26*2000+2*81 = $54,714.58 per month. T-1s tend to prove in for distances significantly less than 2000 miles. Who do I send my bill for consultant fees to?
