[] I've been following the discussion (or former discussion) of Enet on broadband networks but, unless I missed something, it seems nobody has a definite answer. We'd like to run our (as yet uninstalled) Enet on our installed broadband (Sytek). Ideally we'd like an Enet to broadband (Etherband) transceiver that costs about what an ordinary Enet transceiver does. Failing that we'd like a nice, moderate cost, high speed gateway box that will (mostly) transparently handle remote addresses. I've spoken with VitaLink and a $25k box (after you buy full-duplex channel capability, I think) that gives me four 56Kbaud lines is not what I'm looking for. The Bridge GS6 (i think) inter-net box is both cheaper and faster (I'm confused by this since the salepeople make them sound equivalent) but if we could we'd like to get to at least 6Mbits (since that's how big our broadband channels are) and wouldn't mind 10 unless of course cost increases exponentially with speed. Sorry if I missed the answer to this already, but if you have some data/pointers/good advice please send me some mail. Naturally if I'm flooded with inquiries and receive some good stuff I'll summarize here. -- Thanks for your time.
