I have a simple question that somebody might be able to answer:

Other than using a modem and dedicated telephone lines, is it possible to
have a workstation login to a Novell network from over 150 miles away? 
Expense is no problem, so a T1 link option or leased line (there would be
from about 6 to 10 workstations located about 150 miles away from the server)
is okay.

The server would be a normal IBM PS/2 running Novell or IBM's network (I don't
know what they call it...).  Please give a list of hardware needed, etc... The
company already has quite a few IBM mainframes tied together via networking,
but has not involved the PC LAN in this scheme (they're really scared of using
PCs...).

Any help would be grateful.  Please email a reply or post, it doesn't matter,
although a post would probably reach me better since the mail route is almost
non-existant here.. :)
