Looking for some off topic help here....
I have a customer, who has a modem for auto-metering some tanks about 500 feet across a parking lot. The company that supplies the gas, used a CAT5 cable, and is having problems. They haven't been able to get it to work, and he asked me, to get some direct burial telephone cable to use. The cable is in PVC, but being across a parking lot, the integrity of the PVC is in question.
So I found some 22/2 dir. burial phone cable, but I've never had to spec for a telephone type modem before, and don't know if this will be the solution, or if I will still have problems. I was suprised, that I had trouble searching for this on the net.
Thanks for your help,
brian
