Depending on the distances and the electrical characteristics, you may want to consider some of the products that Cisco offers to provide wired high-speed in hotel rooms, dormitories and the like. They're specifically designed to run on lower-quality copper circuits with the corresponding drop in bandwidth, but if you can be happy with T1 speeds between you and your friend's house for the cost of a dry pair it might be just the thing for you.
There's also things like HDSL adapters but then you need T1 CSUs or DSUs and routers, etc., oh my. Find out what kind of Nyquist frequencies the dry pair provider is willing to guarantee over what distances and then you can go from there. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gordon Grieder Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2005 5:51 PM To: Gustavo Rios Cc: misc@openbsd.org Subject: Re: OT: phone line 2 ethernet converters On Tue, Aug 30, 2005 at 09:41:44PM -0300, Gustavo Rios wrote: > Dear friends, > > sorry for being off-topic, i am able to rent a pair of twist line (a > circuit) between my home and and friends one.

Most voice line copper is Cat-3(?) We used to run Apple's LocalTalk across that type of twisted pair but only at speeds of 230 Kbps. Gord
