If you don't mind me asking, why don't you set it up with a dial-up modem? Termination prices for Chinese phone calls are extremely cheap (meaning besides the obvious point of cheaper calls, you'll easily get higher quality routes that're more likely to reliably pass modem traffic), and SSH, let alone any sort of encrypted point to point serial data, over a modem isn't particularly painful to use unless you're transferring large files.

- doctorshady 10y agoAhh, it's one of those datacenters that only give you ethernet? I know some will let you bring in POTS/DSx/whatever else, but they can be a little uncommon. My point was though, if it's as bad as you describe, an international phone call to the server would probably be cheap enough to work.
