Is there a place on the net that has details on standards that relate to the distance that you can be froma the telephone exchange to get ADSL? I've seen it mentioned here that that distance is 18,000 feet (which is equal to 6 kilometres). A friend's company is trying to get an ADSL and they are 5.4kms from the exchange. Every Australian's favourite phone compnay, Telstra, is saying the maximum distances is 4.2kms so ADSL is a no go (though rumour has it that they are using French made equipment that's not really upto scratch) Thankx in advance Marc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
