[Asterisk-Users] OT: VoIP over bonded link

[Matthew Crocker]

Take a look at the Net2Net product which was purchased by Paradyne  
and then by Zhone (www.zhone.com).  They make a unit that will bridge  
Ethernet over SDSL lines,  24 pairs will get you 50mbps through the  
link.  It looks just like ethernet and VoIP will work fine over it.

You can also check our RAD (www.rad.com) they have a bunch of long  
range ethernet extenders to run on existing copper.
