[net.ham-radio] alternatives to modems

David.Anderson@CMU-CS-K.ARPA (04/04/85)

I'm looking for information on higher bandwidth alternatives to modems
for communications from our department to off-campus users.  The
technologies that I'm considering include using an otherwise unused
cable channel, packet radio, and anything else you can suggest.  I'm
looking for pointers to existing systems in other cities, technical
articles describing these technologies, and vendors of off-the-shelf
equipment.  Please respond by mail, and I'll post a summary later.

Try reading up in the "Auerbach" book on selsction info.  There are a
whole bunch of vendors out there, in every different kind of Local
Area Network.  A few that come to mind are Ungermann-Bass, Xerox, ACC,
etc. ad nauseam.
