Thanks for all the replies! To go in to more specific detail, the traffice from Site1 to Site2 will be fairly high bandwidth. I believe they have a client/server app running over it. I guess I assumed something I should not have. I have never set up a T1. I thought that when you order one, the end result (from the phone company) was an Ethernet connection that you simply connected a device with an IP to. It looks like that may be an incorrect assumption. It looks like a router with a T1 interface and an Ethernet interface is required. Does this Ethernet interface have an IP? If so, do I just connect these routers to switches at each end and voila! the sites can talk to each other (disregarding the Internet T1)? I suppose this is getting a little off topic. I'm really just curious as to how to set a T1 up. Are there any good sites explaining it?

Basically, a client of his has two locations. They want to run a T1 between the locations, and then from one office run a T1 connection to the Internet. Unfortunately, he know nothing about routers. While there might be better solutions, I was wondering if he could set something up like this: 1. site 1 has a linux server with two NICs, one connected to the local subnet, and one connected to the T1 subnet 2. site 2 has a linux server with three NICs, one connected to the local subnet, one to the T1 subnet, and the third connected to the T1 which has Internet access. Could this work? If it would work, would I need to add static routes on the box with 3 NICs or could it figure out how to send some traffic to the Internet and some to the other site? Thanks!
