If it's a cat3 phone line, just hook up to two 10mbs hubs that you
pulled out of the network six years ago.
The user will just have to live with 10mbs.
Or you can splice 1000 feet more phone cable to the circuit. Tell the
user not to worry about the spool of cable next to his desk. It's a
long extension in case he wants to move his desk to the parking lot.

Subject: Long Reach Ethernet
Hello groupstudy,
Does anyone know if there is a minimum distance
physical
limitation of long reach ethernet.
The only thing I find on CCO is 3500 feet and above. At our network, we
are
running it on a telephone wire
that is less than 200 feet and I was wondering whether this could
actually be
hindering performance. You
don't want to know the reasons of why this is being done, for it is
beyond the
limits of rational thought. I
already had a TAC engineer check and they couldn't find anything [ yet ]
Any comments welcome.
JVH
