[AusNOG] DSLAM for apartment complex

[Rory McMahon]

If it's only a few of the residents in the complex that want in on your
private network, I'd suggest using VDSL based Ethernet extenders like
the following, which are pretty cheap.

If 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)
 
Cheers, 

Rory

Subject: [AusNOG] DSLAM for apartment complex


Hi NOG, 

I live in an apartment complex and was thinking of setting up some
internet connection sharing / file sharing with other apartments in the
complex. 
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. 
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. 
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. 
I could then attach a router to the DSLAM uplink and run bonded dsl for
the internet connection. 
I was thinking no PPP/Radius initially, perhaps running in bridged mode.


Does anyone have any experience with this? Can anyone recommend  a some
small scale (read cheap) DSLAMs for 24 or less DSL lines? 
Preferably I would like routing smarts integrated, but it is not
essential. 


cheers,
