    Connection sharing

    we just bought another house that is across the street from our first house. it's more like a smaller guest house.
    we would like to setup a small office in that house, is there a way we can connect the 2 houses to share the internet connection and the VOIP and fax services? the 1st house has a DSL internet connection, is it possible to add another phone line outlet to the guesthouse from which we can get the internet/fax and VOIP?

    You can ue only one DSL Modem on the same telephone line.

    So your best bet is to Bridge by Wireless.

    I do not know how your VOIP and Fax services are configured. It might be that you are better off installing a telephone cable to the office, put the DSL Modem and the Wireless Router there, and Bridge the main house to the Office for Internet connection.

    Yeah, bridging is probably your best bet. A realty company I interviewed with (their IT department, of course) owned a hotel across the street from their office building with a dying T1 connection, so they had a 45mbps (actual throughput) wireless link across the roofs for backup. Pretty cool stuff.
