Pairgain sells a device that does this by connecting the 2 ends by sDSL which is 768K symmetrical. The distance is about 3miles or so. It looks like an ethernet on both ends. There is a small (modem-sized) device which sits on both sides. See www.pairgain.com for more info. Tut Systems also sells these ethernet extenders as well. I've used both Pairgain and Tut Systems gear with great luck (up to about 3 miles or so). There are other companies as well. Of course, for the cost of these devices you would be better off chaining switches together to reach your distance, which was suggested by a previous poster. Another posibility is Wireless 802.11 which might have the distance you need.
