DSL might work out well, but for a critical application like STL, I 
would suggest T1 due to its more bullet-proof nature, wide availablity, 
guaranteed transfer rates and superior SLA to protect you.

Since we (as well as other providers) are able to sell T1 for under 
$300/month depending on location, it's really not that expensive a 
venture.  Esp. not for the benefits.
