you've got the whole complex interested, you'd be better off with an IP-DSLAM
we've installed a few in Hotel's and they work quite well, don't need any
external servers (the LNS/Radius is built in, but you can use external radius as
well)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

apartment complex<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Hi NOG,</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>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 face=sans-serif size=2>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
face=sans-serif size=2>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 face=sans-serif size=2>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
face=sans-serif size=2>I could then attach a router to the DSLAM uplink and run
bonded dsl for the internet connection.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif
size=2>I was thinking no PPP/Radius initially, perhaps running in bridged mode.
</FONT><BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>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 face=sans-serif size=2>Preferably I would
like routing smarts integrated, but it is not essential.
</FONT><BR><BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>cheers, </FONT><BR><BR><FONT
