If you truly can get such a service (most RBOCs stopped selling 'dry pair'
or 'alarm circuits' in the 80s), get TWO pair. There are a number of
companies selling 'Ethernet over Twisted Pair' converters.
One problem, however, is that the 100M distance limitation could make such
a connectio pretty impractical, even IF the line conditioning permitted
the connection.

If you're fairly close, however, WiFi with high gain antennas might be a
much better solution.
