This would work to increase performance but I am paying $700/month for (1) 56K
frame now. If I inverse mux'd 2 of them it would be $1,400/month. I think the
customer would jump out the window if I proposed that. I am trying to get a
better cost now that SBC is a competitor in Michigan.
BTW some cool i'muxes are available for DSL and Cable Internet bonding from
Nexland. http://www.nexland.com/ Site appears to be down today for some reason.

There used to be "inverse multiplexors" that would allow you to combine 2 56k
lines. You need one at the customer and another at the FR provider POP. These
were developed in the mid 90's for the video conferencing market * but were
used for FR access as well. You might ask your current provider (who will not
know but make them do the research).Most of the companies in that business have
been bought or gone under. Names I remember: Ascend (bought by Lucent) Sync
Research (still in business, kind-of) Digital Research (I think now known as
"Quick Eagle"?) Kentrox (bought by ADC) Cray Communications (not the
supercomputer folks) Telco Systems (merged with somebody)I'm sure that there
were more. The protocol standard for imuxing was called "Bonding" * in case
that helps your search. [I was involved in that business for Sync long ago.]

Subject: [THIN] Citrix Network Technology Possibilties
I have a customer site a rural town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where I
have real dilemma.
The not-so-pretty facts:
1) No DSL or Cable provider
2) No local dialup or ISDN internet service
There are 3.5 (1 is part-time) users at this site who use a Citrix published
desktop (they run primarily MS Office and a custom client/server app). I ended
up going with a 56K frame relay circuit. This is proving to be very slow and
expensive (now appx $700 USD/month).
I have heard that 2 way satellite latency is just too high for Citrix
applications. Is that still the case? Any technology or options that I haven't
considered worth looking at?
Thanks in advance for assistance.
