I'm in a situation where I have to link a 3/280S with another
Sun system (probably a 3/160) located a couple of miles apart.

We would prefer to link them with IP in such a way that both
machines appear to be on the same Ethernet (with Ethernet like
throughput).

I have heard of a DEC microwave bridge that will link Ethernet
segments at high (10 Mb/s?) speeds. Are any of you familiar
with this product? Calls to DEC result in comments like "Gee!
I never knew we sold *those* ..."

An alternative would be a T1 line running IP over SunDNI/X.25.
(I doubt we can run fiber between the sites.)

ANY suggestions on how we can set this up would be appreciated.
