About linking two Ethernets two miles apart:

Sun Microsystems has a fiber optic link leased from Pacific Telephone
between two of their buildings.  I don't know how far the link actually
runs (the buildings are very close).  My info is from a newspaper
article, so I don't know anything more about it.

At Ford, we use PDP-11/34s running DCN for IP gateways (called fuzzballs).
We are going to replace them with 68K gateways (not yet finished), but
those won't be a product.  You can talk to Patrick Holkenbrink
(patrick@ford-wdl1) about our gateways.
