Organization:

are there other companies producing long distance, high performance
ethernet bridges out there?  or any users of same?

i'm not talking about bridges which use phone lines or even T1...
unless someone has managed to get many thousands of packets
per second over such media...  it takes cable or fiber to do 
near-full-speed bridging, as far as i know...  how many packets
per second can T1 bridges handle???  

i'd be interested in hearing war stories or feedback about any
other bridges...  by long distance, i mean many miles...
and by high performance, i mean something that can handle a
heavy ethernet load...

as you may have guessed, we have a competitive product like this.
i'll leave the sales pitch to anyone interested enough to email.
public feedback on any similar bridges would be appreciated.
