I am looking for advice from experienced users of high-speed modems connected
to Sun SPARCStations.  I must install a system at a remote site and view
dynamically updated graphics under XWindows back at my laboratory.  I
require a high-speed modem connection with data compression and error
checking (the phone line has the quality of two tin cans connected by
a string) which provides a real data transfer rate of at least 9600 baud
one-way.  I would like to achieve 19.2 kBaud.  The lab terminal might be
a Sun SPARCStation or some other microcomputer (i.e., Mac) or terminal
running client software.

Comments and caveats about protocols, specific modems, their manufacturer
and cost, and what additional software or operating system configuration
patches are required for efficient utilization of the Sun
SPARCStation RS-232 ports is welcome!

				  Thanks in advance,
