We have several LADS lines in service, all at 56kbs, synchronous. There
should be information available from the vendor of an arbitrary short-haul
modem telling you what speed it can push how far (longer distance-> lower
speed). 

We were frustrated and slightly amused when we called the person who was the
official Point-of-Contact for our campus asking what the milage was on one
of our lines and got the reply that they didn't know and had never heard the
question before.
