18,000 feet is the distance barrier for most DSL "flavors".  I can
provide IDSL service to reach greater distances.  The speed of the
IDSL lines are 144Kbps up and down.  If anyone needs services or knows
of anyone who needs service, contact me.  I work for DSL.net and my
number is 877-375-6381 ext.3449.
