    Please excuse the dumb question, but I am utterly ignorant about
    this stuff.

    What is necessary to set up a TCP/IP network between two UNIX 
    systems at 2 different sites? I've guessed that we can use SLIP
    over a modem, but performance probably wouldn't be what we'd like.
    I've heard mention of T1 lines, but am not sure how I would connect
    to them (or even what they are for that matter). Can you hang a T1
    line off of an ethernet with the appropriate bridge? Is this what
    I need, or am I way off base? And how does X.25 fit into this. Any 
    help or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.
