Yes it is. The local club (Twinslan) was kicking around higher speed packet radio, but not enough interest existed. A backbone for forwarding messages runs at 19.2Kb/s I think, so it should be possible to extend that. The higher baud rates puts a higher demand on your radio equipment (delays due to transmit circuits becomes a major factor at higher rates).
