<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi NOG,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I live in an apartment complex and was
thinking of setting up some internet connection sharing / file sharing
with other apartments in the complex. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I took a look at the MDF, and it looks
like there is 2x10 pair to each block of aparts (4-6), with a 10 pair for
phone, and a 10 for intercom/alarm/remote gate. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I was thinking of taking 2 pair and
running pure ethernet, but that would require running some extra cabling
to each apart, which would be a hassle. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Instead I was thinking of setting up
a DSLAM in the MDF and running A or VDSL. This could run on pair 2 of each
apartment's RJ11 phone socket. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I could then attach a router to the
DSLAM uplink and run bonded dsl for the internet connection.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I was thinking no PPP/Radius initially,
perhaps running in bridged mode. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Does anyone have any experience with
this? Can anyone recommend a some small scale (read cheap) DSLAMs
for 24 or less DSL lines?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Preferably I would like routing smarts
integrated, but it is not essential. </font>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">cheers, </font>
