Connecting 2 machines over phone line |
|
|
Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to complete the following chain, and
if it is, specifically what equipment do I need?
home computer -> dsl modem 01 -> phone line -> dsl modem 02 -> CAT5
cable -> switch -> work LAN
Thanks!

That would require a private phone line directly from home to
office. The telco lines go to the telco office, not to your office
(unless you work for the telco).
I believe you can connect two SDSL modems back-to-back, but not two
ADSL modems. |

Yes, it could work with various xDSL or EFM products, provided that you
have a direct private line between the sites. You will probably want to look
at the PHY types that support symmetric services (2BASE-TL, 10PASS-TS).
Remember that both xDSL and EFM are master-slave systems that require
different equipment at both ends of the line: one end will have the "central
office" (CO) equipment, and the other end the "customer premises equipment"
(CPE).
I am in the process of compiling a list of commercially available EFM
equipment at http://www.ethernetinthefirstmile.com/products.html. Feel free
to share your thoughts and recommendations.

Michael
