Also how well is that cloud stuff working when your internet

for their point of sale and it is a nightmare because there is no way
to run "no host". If Comcast takes a **** they are running a whole
country club with a pencil and this is a cashless place.

They need a backup network connection. Probably the most economic
would be something like one of Verizon's "hot spot" devices. That's
what I use on the boat to set up a Local Area Network. It creates a
very crisp 4G connection for a flat rate of $50/month.

I suggested they just get a DSL modem but these folks are pretty
computer dumb. They contract out most of the actual IT design.
It is still a single point failure when you are depending on a remote
server.
