Hi Kurt,
You may also want to look into the Pairgain line of Products -- The
Megabit Modem product line is great -- the only problem is that you're
limited to 768kbps, but if you were contemplating a modem solution, this
is likely not a problem.
You can pick up a set of MM 768's for around $2000.00. They can be
configured to act as a bridge, or you can use the built in routing
functions (though they are limited.) I've used them with great success
-- easy to install, and once they're up, they stay up. They operate
over 1 copper pair..
Hope this helps.
