Drakes you say "My guess is that RACE is not happy about the emergence of VPNs since it blows up most of the phone charge related cost advatages that BT had over direct dial data only remote access". There you go again...my GUESS...blah blah blah...something negative towards Race again... My (drakes) guess, my (drakes) speculation, my (drakes) opinion...(drakes) ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS negative towards RACE.

VPNs aren't as new as some think and involve dedicated high-bandwidth connections. VPN (Virtual Private Network) A wide area communications network provided by a common carrier that provides what seems like dedicated lines when used, but backbone trunks are shared among all customers as in a public network. It allows a private network to be configured within a public network. For years, X.25 and switched T1 services have provided VPN-like services. However, VPN refers to newer technologies such as frame relay and ATM, which offer more sophistication and power. techweb.com Guess what? Data Race's products are NT servers so to speak. It's the addition of the simultaneous voice and PBX features (among other things) that set them a world apart.
