This is what I set up with Cable & Wireless a year ago.  We had two Pilot
Schools in London and it worked perfectly over the Internet with 15
networked computers.

Unfortunately after the successful Pilot Cable & Wireless decided to close
down their A-Services (ASP) Division and make everyone redundant, so I am
still looking for someone else to take this on.

Regards, Grahame

Just think, you could have a massive server farm in the middle of
Manchester and run thin client to all the schools in the LEA providing
all their Office and other productivity tools with no licensing costs
and a fully managed service. Now that would save large amounts of money
and provide some real leadership to the rest of the education service
;-)
