Hi all,

In a well-intentioned but probably misguided attempt to provide my own
little group of rural neighbors with wireless access, I have hit a snag. I
would like to tie my business to my home, and then provide wireless from
my home to my neighbors.

Since I don't think I have a reasonable LOS between my business and my
house, I thought I might roll my own SDSL between the two by renting some
copper from the phone company. However, I have not had any success with
the telephone company (Verizon). "dry copper" is not available or is
outlandishly expensive, depending on who you talk to. Many years ago, this
was a simple and inexpensive proposition. So, my questions are this: Can
anyone with some experience give me any good info on how to rent such a
connection from the phone company at a reasonable cost, or alternatively,
have a better idea?

Thanks.

Joe Pickert
