Off subject DSL point-to-point

2006-03-22 Thread Flagg, Martin D.
Does any one have any experience in using DSL as a private Point-to-Point solution where telephone lines already exist. Our local township has a scenario where running fiber would be too expensive and they already have extra phones lines. The buildings the wish to connect are about 500 ft apart

Cully, We currently have three VLANs on our wireless system: One for students (non-broadcast SSID), and one for faculty and staff (also non-broadcast). These require network credentials for authentication. Then we have the broadcasted VLAN for guests/public use. This VLAN is effectively a
