Well, I don't want this to sound like a commercial post, but we
 http://www.iconz.co.nz ) can offer Centrex ISDN ( dual, 256k if desired )
in Wellington and Palmerston if you like. ( no local data charging ). This
makes a very effective vpn.

Yeah, it's quite likely that they're transferring mega amounts of data over
the wire (after hours replications / backup etc).. I'll hound my local
Telecom man and make some calls about the VPN service. Meanwhile I suspect
that DDS or F/R may be a better way to go..

Hmmm, unfortunately, I see no other option for you. If Saturn were in
PN, you could use them. They charge 10% of what Telecom does for
NZ-only traffic. That would save you quite a bit. I guess the only way to
tell how much it's going to cost you is to estimate the traffic. What will
they be doing?
