    Yup, we have 56k here in San Diego on 70cm, been up for several years 25
    miles point-to-point. Some folks up North are using 802.11b 6-7 miles at 6~7
    Mbit.

    See the AX25-HOWTO for information on tcp/ip over AX.25.

    The WA4DSY modem will do 56 kbps (http://www.paccomm.com). It operates
    at 29 MHz and must be used with a transverter for the appropriate band.
    Some hams in Slovenia have designed high speed equipment, see
    http://hamradio.si/hid.html for some links.
