It really does seem like repeaters are a necessity. If he can put power down the wires, and get to them to install repeaters, that would seem the obvious way to go.

We currently are just extending a T1 line to this site, but 1.5Mbps isn't cutting it anymore. Unfortunately it's a research site on a federallyprotected wildlife preserve so we can't run any new infrastructure (fiberetc) and it isn't in a geographical place where point to point wireless ispractical. We were thinking there is some sort of network extender thatuses some form of DSL for higher bandwidth capacity. Any suggestions?If this is telco provided dry pair then the distance is probably longerthan 6 miles as the endpoints are probably tied together through a telcoCO.I have not heard of any equipment which will work over a 6 mile pair anyfaster than you're getting with T1. You might consider setting up wireless repeaters to bridge where there is no direct LOS. Look at what the hamwan guys have done. http://hamwan.org/ -Dan
