[MLB-WIRELESS] help with last mile in the country...

[Gabrielle Harrison & Paul van den Bergen]

Hi all,

I have a problem that needs solving...
The telephone line comes to the edge of my fathers property. It costs $18/m 
to get it trenched onto the property. the logical place is 200 m away (that 
is $3600). and the current living area is some 3-400 m further!

My first thought was:  wireless AP + 180 deg wave guide antenna + modem up 
a pole. and wireless connection wherever.  But that does fine for data, how 
can I do voice VoIP?

so the first question is how to get the box-onna-pole to do telephone 
extension.

second, in the 433 MHz band I know solutions like this should exist. Can 
anyone point me towards people who do this sort of stuff?

Note:  the most important point is to get telephony connected to the 
property. I don't care if data (eg. ethernet, whatever) is under neath 
this, on top of this, or an independent add on later. (though all those are 
possible.)
