Dan Lanciani suggested using fber optics -thank you for your efforts. That would be out of my budget, besides I have a WAP11 at the other end -> would require a 'fiber to UTP' adaptor -making it further out of reach.
The 'grounding solution' suggested below seems to have 2 problems, your advise will be valued: a. Running the cable underground will have no effect on reducing surge generated by near by lightening. b. Shielding a UTP cable will reduce the usable length of the cable to such an extent that my 100m will not work. Please correct me. I was hoping to build a 'home made' surge protector that I would use at both ends of the cable -something made of simple zener diods and fast melting fuses (and eventually small coils). If it is possible to buy it in the industrielised countries, we should be able to build it in a third world country. That was long, thanks for your patience.
