Well, what bandwidth would you need on that line?

You could use one of the following

	- USR/3COM Courier modems for 33.6 kbps
	- RAD SRM-31A		  for 128 kbps
	- RAD ASM-31		  for 256 kbps

Note that the first two use standard V24 interfaces.  ASM-31 has an optional
ethernet bridge interface, which I would recommend if you're planning to use
it on a Linux box.

I have seen these work.  There are many more options for the hardware.

As for the software, pppd would do.
