You are right it is a service offering. Right now, we are using ISDN
dial-up and would like to move to a full time connection. We would not be
using the customerbs connection but will be installing a 144K IDSL or 192K
SDSL line. What I am going to do on Friday in the lab ( If we get the lines
from Covad on time) is use a 7200 at the head end and a 1700 on the other
end run the IPSec and NAT on the 1700 and see how that goes. The only
problem is I cannot find an IDSL WIC on CCO I only see an ADSL and SDSL.

I would certainly hope that the remotes wouldn't use different platforms.
I
don't know the business model, but it sounds to me like it's some kind of
service offering or something. Maybe they have a 2000 site Frame Relay
network used to offer a service or something, and they want to switch to
something more economical. Instead of paying monthly circuit fees, pay a
one-time hardware cost (assuming they don't own the FR routers at the
customer end) and use the customer's Internet connection. Why in the world
would you want different hardware at each customer site in that situation?
Standardize on one hardware platform, and build the cost of that hardware
into the business model...
If that's the case then the cost of a 3005 can be justified in a small
number of months, depending on your FR cost. Certainly you would recoup
your cost and start making more money, due to less operating cost,
relatively quickly.
Now, if this is something else, like a company with 2000 offices throughout
the world, then I can see your point and you may end up with different
requirements. But, that's not how it sounds so far.

Despite all hw issues, you really need to
- describe the business req's first
- translate to technical req's
(you are talking 2000+ sites)
And you will see that you'll need more than one platform for de Remotes.
Dependig on your hierarchy concerning
- messaging
- authentication
- client-server
- webapps
- desktop/register maintenance/management
- security man
You will need to or may want to build an hierarchical design. Keep in mind
that differen platfroms use different (HQ) fail-over or 2nd ip techniques.

I need to setup VPNs to about 2000 sites. Each site will have an IDSL line
installed that will be used to connect to monitor network devices and
servers. Some of the remote networks will be using the same network block.
I am looking to know what the best hardware to use on each end is. On my
end, would it be better to use a PIX or a 3030? On the remote end, I was
looking at a PIX 501, SOHO 91 or the 831?
Thank you
Ryan
