Our Vision network uses both solutions. A 64kb/s line to the small
branch surgery which uses the Reachout software for 5 PCs, and a 2Mb/s
cable link (courtesy of the local cable contractor) to approx 20 at the
other main site. The Reachout solution is probably a bit quicker at
present but we're in process of upgrading our previously installed
network from thin ethernet to UTP5 to see if that helps.
Reliability has been pretty good with both solutions so you pays your
money...(as always)
