Kimi, What kind of distance are you talking about between buildings? I assume when you say you're plugging a computer in one end, and a router in the other, that you're talking about different buildings, eh? Are you actually trying to provision a T1 to these buildings? Or just establish connectivity between the buildings? If it's just connectivity, you'll have a tough time generating your own T1 circuit, and you'll likely be better off with some extended distance connectivity, like fiber. So: Connectivity, or T1? What kind of distance? JB. --- "Kimi A. Adams" wrote: > I am having a problem with cabling in my office > building. The guy that > runs the phone lines here was an old Ma Bell > technician.
