Re: Leased Line AS/400 access

Unless the other building is 'connected' to your building on your company's
property it is unlikely that you'll be able to string your own cable (no
matter which type of cable you choose).    You have to use Ma Bell.

Any time your cable crosses a public thoroughfare you'll have to resort to
Ma Bell.

At one job we had 2 buildings on opposite sides of a road.  We had a
conveyor belt running through a bridge over the road.  Ruling was that we
-could- run our cables through the bridgework to the other side; the bridge
was ours, and it made a connection between sides.
