- 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.
