I'm using a Netopia R7100-C router at home connected to an M7100 modem at
the office.  I get 1.5mbps symmetric.  Mike is using a pair of the
pairgain E1 modems with Ciscos on each end.  McGuire is using a pair of
Telmax WebXpress 2500s as ethernet bridges..2.4mbps there.

Call the phone company and tell them you want a 4wire alarm circuit
between point A and point B.  Use one pair for SDSL and use the other pair
to bring a phone line from the office to your house.  *grin*
