networking to a T1 400 feet away

Hello,
Thid is for an educational facilaty and if anyone could
help me it, you'd be helping many disadvantaged children.

Could someone please tell me if this connection that I am
wanting to put together will work. OK, my over all goal
is to network a computer that is in a seperate building,
to my main building's T1 connection which is roughly 400
feet away. I will have host software on that PC and I'd
like for outside users from around the country to be able
to access that PC through my T1, via a program like
PCAnywhere.

What I have planned is to have my T1 connected to a
switch, that will send a digital signal over a CAT5 to
the switch in my external building, which will send the
signal to my router and then to my PC, which will have
it's host software in "waiting a call" mode. Does this
sound possible through this setup?


I'd like to have a hardware firewall and I belive that
will be connected in between the T1 and the Switch... Is
this correct?

Also I know I'll need grounding straps, those are
positioned by the switch, but do they plug directly into
it?

I should probably run 3 Cat5's through the conduit, just
for piece of mind correct?

If you could please tell me if this is correct, It would
help me a great deal.

Small problem if you are running 10-BaseT, 100-BaseT, or 1000-BaseT is
that 400 Feet = 121.92000 Meters which is 21.92000 Meters longer the the
standard of 100 Meters. You may need to run fiber for that run or get a
repeater part way through it.
