The Cellar - View Single Post - SDSL for short-distance networking?

mbpark · 07-17-2003, 10:29 PM

Hello,

I'm currently doing a lot of work to get the IS systems at a summer camp that I do volunteer work on behalf of up and running.

I'd like to run SDSL using their existing copper wire, as this place is in Bartonsville (the Poconos), and is mostly woods. Obviously, you're not going to get 802.11 working in a place like this, since line of sight is impossible.

However, someone, in all of their wisdom, did lay a lot of phone wire. I read up on dry pair, and figured a few Netopia 7200's would do the trick with the large amounts of wiring already there.

Has anyone pulled this off?

BTW, the camp's URL is http://www.goldenslippercamp.org, and it is a good cause

. That, and they will be running real systems to support this operation when I am done. No more Windows 98.
