hi,
We have two remote dept.s - one about 500 mts from our office & other about 20 kms from our main office.

1. for the 500 mtr dept. - what is the solution - We already have pure 100Mbps Switched casaded Fast Ethernet network. Can I just added two routers (one in my server room & other in the remote dept.) connecting then with Cat5e UTP Ethernet cables ?

2. for the 20Kms dept. - We ned 256kbps link speed. I have two free 2621 Cisco Routers available - what is the running config to use on them ?
The network diagram is -
Main office Cisco 2621 Router (A)-
Internal port of 2621a router - f0/1(192.168.100.101)
External Port - BRI conneted to phone # 12345678 with IP 192.168.102.101

Remote office Cisco 2621 router (B) - Exteral Port - BRI connected to phone # 87654321 with IP as 192.168.102.101
Internal port of 2621b router - f0/1 (192.168.101.254

Due to electrical earth differences, if you want to fry equipment, then go ahead (although the segment length is too long). FO will be the only solution that will ensure that you dont have some dead switches... (of course you could use a WAN solution, but that would probably cost more in the long run...)

Now I am not too sure with the 20km, but have you used ISDN or ADSL or whatever to connect them? If so, then it should be a piece of cake to treat them like another segment (similar to the500mtrs one...)

Hope it helps
