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.
