JJimm -

I'm with the guys here. You might be able to pull this out. Set the LBO to Max and then the install: Run two shielded Cat 3 cables (one for xmit, one for rcv) from the Smart jack and terminate them on an RJ48x. Then test the circuit with a T-Berd or Sunset. Do a thorough test (5 minutes of all 1's, 15 minutes of all 0's, 15 minutes of 3-24 and then 24 hours of QRS. If you get less then 5 errors I would say you'd be good to go.

If it doesn't work, then you're going to have get a repeater - but worry about that if and when you have to.
