Tom writes "I am trying to set up a hotsite over a 256k T1 connection. I have Microsoft SQL 2000 on both servers but one is running Windows 2000 OS (Hotsite) and the local one is running Windows NT 4.0 SP6.

After reading a couple of articles on this site, I have found that merge-replication may be the answer. I would like the data to be as real-time as possible but also not hog the pipe completely. The second server does not have anyone there unless there is an emergency, so I do not need any load balancing.

Is there a way to do this without buying a third party application?

Thanks!

Tom"
