You want a cordless phone with a 3 MILE range?!? Geez, I think the best on
the market might work for 3 blocks, if they had a direct line-of-sight.
Probably not, though. Why don't you look into DSS two-way Internet service,
such as direcway or similar. Before you do, see if anyone has used VOIP
(voice over IP) service with DSS based Internet service providers. If so,
you could sign up for a service like Vonage and have high speed Internet
plus voice telephone calls for about a hundred bucks a month. Not bad,
considering there appears to be no other options for you. But first you'd
have to verify that you can do VOIP with a small (18") satellite dish. Oh,
and you need a good view to the South. -Dave
