However, the digipeaters and BBS's are linked by 4800 and 9600 bps backbones. Higher speeds are more widespread in the US. By way of interest, the Russian Space Station Mir has a couple of Packet setups, one is the 1200bps terrestrial system, in the 2m amateur band, which I have worked a couple of times, using just my normal 1/4wave on the roof. They also have a more sophisticated G3RUH 9600 BPS modem which I think is on a 70cm radio with their SSTV gear.
