I have a 32/600 (Rel 3 OS) and a 32/650 (Rel 2.01.01 OS) connected 
back to back via a 48K In-House DLC link. I run the SNAX25 and X.25
Host Pad software to route uucp and mail traffic between the TCP-IP and
TowerNet networks in our department (Tower Networking Systems, E&M COLUMBIA)
With this setup, I get about 3000 bytes/sec throughput, as reported by
UUCP in the xferstats file.

Traffic between the 2 Towers averages between 1.5 and 2 megabytes of 
data per day and there doesn't seem to be a problem with data corruption.
I'm using the LAPB HDLC driver developed here in Columbia.
