For small sets of end-users such as yours, dial-up as mentioned by
others
would be most economical. The 1-2K network load is per SAP screen
refresh per user. You can easily extrapolate a more accurate measure of
network load by taking the performance benchmarks you are shooting for,
and multiply (after converting to SAP dialog steps) by this amount.
Like the others said, 14.4 (28.8 maybe?) is adequate.
Note that this is for the traffic between the application server and the
presentation server. The traffic between the app server and the db
server
is several times larger. Thus tasks like CTS should not be an issue.
Also, if your remote users run SAP's graphics ("Business Graphics" or
tools like CCMS), these numbers do not hold.
