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.

It's stupid. Don't ever connect 2 different building with copper.
Just wait until you get some kind of lightening hit or electrical
fault, but make sure you are no where near it. Use fibre.
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, the conduit for the
provisioning of the
new building is unsuitable for fibre (too many sharp bends) and we
can't
core out the concrete and put in a new conduit because of obstacles
in the
way that make laying new conduit impractical, so we are stuck with
(existing) copper. We already have copper-to-copper connections of
different
types (electrical, security etc) between the buildings so a
lightning strike
is going to hose us no matter what.
That aside, does anyone have opinions on my original question as to
the
suitability of bonded links for VoIP?
