Thank you for your replies.
You are correct in your assesment. It is wireless from the ISP to the home,
which is connected to a router in the house. I am trying to put some
requirements toghether for allowing just any person asking to work from
home. Just not sure if I should do all of my work around just DSL and
cable modem service. The term broadband is used so much now by ISP's and
what they offer it kind of ties our hands from just saying you need a
broadband connection to work from home.

Do you know of anyplace that would have some templates or guidelines oon
this?

Thanks,
Mark
