Telstra has been trying to sell us this sort of ADSL for some time now...
What you do is buy ADSL 'wholesale' and they give you an ADSL connection
in your home, which magically routes through the same Frame Relay as your
incoming phone lines into your building. Our estimate of cost was around
$40k for 4 users for 3 months.
I'm not sure if you can just plug two ADSL modems into a each end of a
phone connection and have it work. It is certainly an interesting idea.
