Victor,
You might consider a facilities check at your locations to determine if you
have available pairs of copper. You can have the phone co. simply cross
connect one pair of dry copper between your site and your remotes (1 each, that
is). As long as the total distance of the resulting copper loop is less than 5
miles, you can use XDSL technology from a company like PairGain to bridge (if
you use a bridge module) or route (if you use a serial module and a router)
accross the copper at T1/E1 speeds.
Call me for more info,
