It's actually this link that I'm concerned with. The long distance costs of a fixed link to Head Office is what made us think of using the internet. If each store could make a local call to an ISP and the HO server is attached to the Net then we should have no long distance charges.

Your description of the firewalls involved would still apply and have given me
some useful points to consider.

Thanks again.
