Wireless ISDN

Hello,

I live out in the sticks - just. Actually, 4.01 miles from the telco's CO so they won't entertain DSL and the cable company aren't interested, either. So I've got ISDN, instead.

Problem: the ISDN line terminates at the house but we have an office in our detached garage/barn/behemoth. Currently, I have a 100' telephone cable going from the where the ISDN terminates at the house to the garage. The missus really wants it to go away but I don't want to bury it (brick path, gravel driveway etc to contend with).

I've searched high and low for a simple device that will basically transmit/receive the ISDN signal via AM/FM/whatever. The nearest I have found is a Siemens widget but it doesn't seem to be available in the US.

I could build my own transmitter/receiver units but I'm hoping there is an existing solution. I've tried the widgets that let you use the existing wiring in the house but the garage is on a totally separate supply, so that avenue is closed.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

or I guess if all else fails you could go with Satellite.

Thanks for the reply. I already have one of those routers. (Separate topic, but it didn't behave properly via ISDN - worked with the tech support, they provided beta firmware to try to fix the problem - in the end, I used a surplus PC with Wingate connected to a different wireless router...)

Anyway - the network side of things isn't the problem. I need the ISDN line itself in the garage since I have a phone and fax that I used with it - as well as the computer....

Sorry about that, and not that this post will answer your question either but the further you run that wire the more its gonna slim your bandwidth if your not using a repeator or amplififer (SP!) on the line.

Just thought I'd mention that in case you was unaware of that..

It also runs 4+ miles from the telco, so I hope a few tens of feet shouldn't hurt.

I do achieve ISDN transfer rates approaching the max possible.

What baffles me is that the same telco wouldn't even come out to test the electrical parameters of the line to see if DSL would work. All because of 0.01 of a mile!
