Problem: remote cabins miles from last telephone pole so estimated cost to install a conventional local loop is over $20,000. The nearest metropolitan area with "mobile" phones is a mountainous 100 miles away, so that's out. But in these days of (sort of) cheap satellite uplink/downlinks and other repeaters, is seems like there ought to be something cheaper to install (cost per call not too important since only light use expected). What's out there which ties to DDD network, can send and receive calls [and uses under 10 watts standby]? Who and where would I even ask? Darrel J. Van Buer VANBUER@USC-ECL or usenet ...!sdcrdcf!darrelj
