Dedicated Access
     RLC can connect your business to the Internet with your choice of analog or high-speed digital lines. These connections can serve an individual computer or a computer network. In addition to greater speeds, you also eliminate the cost of extra modem lines and the time it takes to dial out and connect to the Internet. The benefits can be substantial if your personnel are relying more heavily on e-mail or the web today.
     This service differs from our "no idle timeout" option on dial-up service. You stay connected 24 hours/day on an exclusive access line. Simply launch your browser or email client and you're in business!
     Setup fees include all configuration and hardware purchase consultation. You will be responsible for the cost of the router however. These range from $500–$2,000, depending on the speed of the connection you choose.
     All dedicated access plans include 25 MB of web site hosting on our backbone, DNS, and 10 e-mail accounts. However, with a 128k or faster connection, you may choose to setup your own Internet server.

Appropriate Usage top
Plan Number of Hosts Comments
Analog 1-5 Dedicated analog connections are nice for instantaneous notification of e-mail. Not appropriate for web browsing or downloading.
ISDN 1-15 Good for instant e-mail. E-mail may seem sluggish if several people are browsing the web simultaneously. You can integrate LAN and Internet mail and save money by running your own Internet mail server.
T1 15-? Allows you to run all types of Internet servers in-house. Large numbers of employees can enjoy high-speed access.
