More complicated solution:
802.11b wireless Ethernet with antennas to provide a reasonably fast network bridge between the two locations
VoIP appliance on the far end to support to convert a small set of POTS phones
VoIP appliance on the near end to connect to the KX-TD
Many people get by with first generation Apple Airport 802.11b adapters and external antennas to bridge ethernet over wireless. Here is the link to the article that talks about using 802.11b from rural Sonoma County CA to link to DSL in Santa Rosa, CA 5-10 miles away http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20010628.html

I have a rather "low tech" Customer, KXTD 1232 with Voicegate VIP 4000 with 36 telephones
plus 4 port VM. 10 analog keysets from the old KXT1232, 8 Digital sets and using the other half of the ports for single lines plus another 10 single. I tell you this to explain how they have 40 ports out of a 32 port system, although I'm sure MOST of you figured this out without my explanation. The customer has almost NO data network ( 4 ascii dumb terminals working on a PC- MOS - yuk)
Now, I know you have been waiting, my question has ALMOST nothing to do with the telephones or data.
The customer is moving ONE employee to a site that is about a 5500 foot drive, but only 3200 feet airline
and just a little over 20,000 cable feet thru the C.O.
You guessed it, they want a telephone at the "new" location. I can't seem to get anybody at SBC that can even give me an idea as to the cost of a circuit between the two locations, IF a Single line will even work at that distance?
The "prime" site has a small tower on the roof ( 30 feet above ground) and the "remote" location has a 120 foot tower
that used to have their radio system on it, in the days BEFORE Nextel.
I did a google search for " point to point wireless link" and got over 700 hits, I have just spent the last couple hours
scanning the links and can not find what I'm really looking for- anyone have any helpful ideas, I would like to do this for
less then $2500.00 ( and I don't think ENGENIUS is the answer)
Thanks
