With a line of that length (like less then 4 km or so), it would be quite
possible to run at a much higher speed. For example, the ISDN U-interface
can be run at either 80kb or 160kb (full duplex over 1 pair, even)
over distances like that with little or no problems. Sometime soon, I am
going to be performing some experiments with this type of interface running
at 160kb on a loop that is aprox 1.5 km long. I think that this type of
setup could lend itself to be kind of a happy medium between a dial-up
line (even at 9.6kb) and a VERY MEGA-EXPENSIVE dds line, which I dont
think that any of us could personally afford. If anyone has any interest in
these types of experiments, please contact me.

P.S. My mail link was down today, so I dialed up into BU. I can normally
be reached at DIXON@OZ.AI.MIT.EDU or more specifically

Happy Networking...  Jim Dixon..
