Take a look at other speedstream models, 5260 supposedly has better long reach capability.

And my final in a series of replies

The paradyne units are about 250 at this company:

And that certifies that they should work with what you need them to do.

I lied.

One more thing I have to say.

I'm not sure what their current network topology is -- if they're using some wireless bridges, I'm assuming they're either using a router at both ends, or they're using a wireless bridge/gateway that uplinks into their hubs and switches. The thing that gets complicated (and you may need to subcontract this out to an IT company of some sort) is that you've got to set up their routers to know when to route to the DSL or to keep it in their LAN. Basically, you'll be looking at two LANs with a WAN connecting them.

Just a reminder... but if it's already working using bridges, you basically would just be replacing those -- so maybe not even a problem.

I'm in our Fultonville, NY office this week, and low and behold, I noticed that the office here is connected to the plant down the street by *dry pair DSL* over an exsisting pair of copper. The local IT vendor here put it in a year or more ago and they have had very few problems with it. The vendor said the DSL boxes for both ends of the cable ran about 200 dollars a piece.

(I'm the new IT director at my company and so as such I'm still finding new equipment in the most unlikely places.)

The speed is around 1.5Mbps and seems pretty lag free as far as accessing the servers and email stored in the office and in remotely.

Just figured I would throw 2 more cents in. :-)
