I'd like to decrease the latency between myself and my Internet
cooperative, with a bandwidth increase being a secondary
consideration. With at least a 56K data rate, packet radio looks like
it might be able to do this.
What sort of round trip time could I get (Currently, I'm at about
130ms)?
What packet modems (56K or faster) are supported under Linux?
I'm looking at under 15 miles, what else would I need? What would the
approximate price be for two ends in this configuration (US $)?
Currently, I only allow DES-Encrypted, Kerberos over TCP authenticated
login sessions from the outside world. Could I still do this (legally)?
