I'm interested in hearing people's view points on this as well. In general what do folks thing about implementing yet another appliance within their networks as opposed to implementing the same features (if supported by their gear vendor) within their choke points. regards, /vicky Matt Bazan wrote:

Hello, I'm looking for advice and recommendations on WAN (T1 speeds) accelerator devices. I've seen the literature on the offerings from Peribit, NetCelera and Packeteer and am looking for some real-world feedback. Can anyone provide me with their experiences using these products or similar? Thanks,

For what it is worth, one of the partners I work with was going through the due diligence of reviewing and testing WAN accelerator devices for their branch offices instead of pulling in more circuits. They were leaning toward Expand Network's gear but the entire project was dropped so they are still in the same boat. Expand's site: http://www.expand.com/ Mike
