We are currently using the 18MHz boxes here, and they seem to work well,
even though we run them just a little past the distance spec in order
to tie two campuses together.  We also use them to link ethernets
across smaller distances.

Our tests on the 12MHz modems are "still in progress," but we haven't
found any major problems with them.  Of course, you aren't getting
something for nothing: although it's nice to have 6MHz back, the 12MHz
modems won't allow us to link the two campuses any more.

Another note about the new modems is that they use a different part
of the band.
