Why go frame? ISDN works fine at the data rates you're talking about.

Sure. Telstra ISDN. $500 odd bucks installation {$270 each end, I think},
and probably $500 a month for the call cap {not sure of the distance
involved - you'd have to check}.
Way cheaper than $25k for frame.
Alternate - this depends _heavily_ on line of site and distance involved -
spread spectrum wireless. 2 meg at up to 44 k's. All you pay is the
hardware and install costs - there's _no_ running costs or licensing fees
apart from electricity.
