All, Has anyone experience in setting up high speed modem connections over *very* long distances? I am interested in linking two Macs, one in the UK and one in Australia (roughly 10,000 miles) via Hayes Optima 144 (v32bis) modems and would like to know what problems to expect. Is the link likely to work? Will there be a serious network latency (i.e. over half a second)? Will it be robust? At Loughborough University we have successfully run ISDN over the same distance without problems. Any advice would be most welcome. Sean Clark, Loughborough University
