Since two wire pairs are used, one for receive and one for transmit, the 'modem' is much simpler than with a 2-wire circuit, which must multiplex frequencies to get transmit and receive.

I would like to run my terminal at home to the computer at work faster than 1200 baud. Terminal and modem are on the same switching office, and about 3 physical miles apart. I keep seeing these nifty line drivers that can run 9600 baud for a few miles conforming to some Bell 43401mumble spec. Are these what I want? Unfortunately, Pacific Telephone has resisted repeated attempts by me to bring them business. Could someone tell me what my options are, and what magic words I might tell the phone company? I keep getting "we can install an RJ11C for $63.18 plus $8/month unless you want touch-tone" (touch tone for a data line???) -- Rex ucbvax!menlo70!sanders RSanders.Pascalx@Denver

Uh, the terminal and COMPUTER are about 3 miles apart, the modems are considerably closer to their respective DTEs.
