DSL backup t o Frame relay

[djlsnuff]

My customer uses a 64k FR to connect branch locations to HQ. How can I use DSL to seamlessly backup these circuits in case FR fails? Currently using Osicom R64 routers for FR.

Thanks for all input.

I can only assume that you would have to use the DSL to VPN into your corporate office. You'll probably find that the DSL using VPN is cheaper than the 64Kbps frame relay solution but not necessarily better depending on a whole bunch of factors not yet discussed. Do you have any idea whether or not you have the facilities in place for VPN?

We are putting VPN in place...I think the appropriate soln. might be to use a load balancing/backup device to provide the auto-fail-over.

thank you
