Supporting Remote Sites

We are in the process creating remote offices for our company (Currently, all our data is maintained at our corporate hq). At these remote sites, users will need to have access to production information. One of the issues your confronted with is "what mechanism do you give your remote sites for accessing corporate data?" A couple of possible solutions are a) Use On-Line's CDR option? If so, is this one-way or n-way? N-way replication scares me! Or b) Maintain a central database and have remote sites dial-in? However, Client/Server and remote dial-up are sluggish even on a T-1 speeds! Any thoughts on how you have tackled this animal would be appreciated. Steve Romankiw
