If you don't need anything else from the box (like, DNS or AppleTalk file
services), and if you can avoid disk accesses that block interrupts for
considerable time, a IIci keeps up with an ISDN line just fine. That's 7k2
sustained. Your SE/30 will do 57k6 fine in the same situation. It's a pity
that all the world relies on the modems doing compression instead of the
attached computers.
