I have regularly called London using a V.22bis (2400 bps) modem with
few problems - and I'm calling from New Zealand - can't get much further
away!  If you use a nice sliding-windows protocol such as Zmodem,
you'll get maximum throughput.  Of course, you'll do even better if
you have a Trailblazer plus running at both ends.  The TB+ is made by
Telebit, who license it to Dowty in the UK (Dowty have just bought out
Case, who also supply modems).
