Well, what bandwidth would you need on that line?
You could use one of the following
- USR/3COM Courier modems for 33.6 kbps
- RAD SRM-31A for 128 kbps
- RAD ASM-31 for 256 kbps
Note that the first two use standard V24 interfaces. ASM-31 has an optional
ethernet bridge interface, which I would recommend if you're planning to use
it on a Linux box.
I have seen these work. There are many more options for the hardware.
As for the software, pppd would do.
