Tell him to order a 2-wire alarm circuit and slap a Tut 12000 (or your favorite product) on each end. Yes, I've done it. And yes, it was in P*B territory. Geoff White wrote:

You think coolocating routers at COs is less absurd? Aggregating DSL traffic in a DSLAM and pumping it out via ATM is the right way to do things.No it was absurd because my friend just wanted to run two adsl "modems" between his office and home on copper. He was told that to do that he needed to connect to PacBell's ATM backbone, that's whats absurd.
