What do an accountant sitting in a small home office accessing the Web, a sales representative at a branch office checking the latest home office price list, and a hospital worker ordering medication from a supplier’s remote server all have in common? Whether they are aware of it or not, more and more often the links from place to place in these environments are provided by a frame relay network. In the near future, this list might easily extend to corporate executives holding a videoconference, commercial artists manipulating images, and even college students calling home. In fact, all three of these things are done on frame relay networks now, just not routinely or in all environments.
