It really does seem like repeaters are a necessity. If he can put power
down the wires, and get to them to install repeaters, that would seem
the obvious way to go.

I doubt he will get >1.5mbps with those over a 6 mile long connection.
I did a quick check and flowpoint 2200s seem to max out at 192kbps at
3 miles.

For dry pairs, I have used Flowpoint SDSL modems (see attached). I

A quick question for you guys;
If you had a single dry pair (pair of copper wires originally for
phones)
to a remote site that was around 6 miles away, what would you use? We
currently are just extending a T1 line to this site, but 1.5Mbps isn't
cutting it anymore. Unfortunately it's a research site on a federally
protected wildlife preserve so we can't run any new infrastructure
(fiber
etc) and it isn't in a geographical place where point to point
wireless is
practical. We were thinking there is some sort of network extender
that
uses some form of DSL for higher bandwidth capacity.
Any suggestions?
If this is telco provided dry pair then the distance is probably longer
than 6 miles as the endpoints are probably tied together through a
telco
CO.
I have not heard of any equipment which will work over a 6 mile pair
any
faster than you're getting with T1.
You might consider setting up wireless repeaters to bridge where there
is no direct LOS. Look at what the hamwan guys have done.
