    We are using Sun's Sunlink Internet Router with some 4800 synchronous modems
to connect two ethernet networks 4.1 miles apart. We're currently using a 3002
line and this ok, but it's a bit slow.
    We've tried using higher speed modems (32k) from Avanti over LADDs lines,
but the error rate is to high. (The wire is 26 guage, and 4.1 miles dooms us
to 4800 baud)
    What other options do we have ? We could bump the 3002 line modem up to
9600 or maybe 19.2, but that's not really enough. We can't seem to get T1, so
thats out. (The town I live in will not get equal access until 199x ....)
    Does anyone know of reverse multiplexing boxes which would allow
us to use multiple 9600 baud lines, to get a total agrregate through put
greater than 9600 baud ?

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
