Hi, Looking for some advice and a pointer towards
a product/source for some kit to achieve the following:

I need to access my BT line remotely from a shed
at the bottom of my garden where i intend to move
me PC gear. I do not want to run another phone line
or extension.

Can I get a transmitter which plugs into the current
BT access point and which will wirelsss Tx to a receiver
which I can plug me modem into or do it via USB?


Thanks


Pete

Thanks Phil that was exactly what I was looking for.
Spent ages browsing about for similar items fruitlessly.

Came up with a system using the house ringmain but you
have to use the PC and Adapter on the same ring. Unfortunately
my shed is sepperate so it was no use. This seems like it will
do the trick.

If anyone knows anything about this item I'd appreciate a comment
or two.

Thanks


Pete

It's worth adding that there may be a better solution - these DECT modems
are slower than a direct connection. I did nose around looking for a
wireless modem for Plain Old Telephone Service (rather than broadband ADSL)
but couldn't find one. Assuming you don't want to pay almost £30 per month
for broadband, if such a thing exists, it would give you a noticably faster
connection than the DECT option. Might be worth contacting one of the big
suppliers, like Dabs.com for advice?

I have decided to bit the idea for now
and extend the line instead. I wanted to
avoid that because of the hassle but even
the wireless modem option is frought with
likely problem - given the sittuation.

Thanks for the assistance anyway.
