Can anyone help? Have you check out a high speed modem manufactured by TeleBit (somewhere in Georgia)? The claim to be able to get 13Kb over unconditioned lines. This modem is not cheap, ~$2K-$3K, but if you are trying to move a lot of data it makes sense. I do not believe that they use a CCITT standard, so if that is a concern just ignore this message. N.B. The modem is also marketed by the IRMA people under the name FastLink. --Daniel Ehrlich UUCP: {burdvax,cbosgd,cmcl2,pitt,ihnp4}!psuvax1!ehrlich CSNET: ehrlich@penn-state.csnet USPS: The Pennsylvania State University INTERNET: ehrlich@psuvax1.psu.edu Department of Computer Science BITNET: ehrlich@psuvax1.bitnet 333 Whitmore Laboratory BELL: +1 814 863 1142 University Park, PA 16802 Quote: "The sky is blue so we know where to stop mowing."
