Long distance modem links?

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
