You could also run SDSL modems, which have been the traditional way to do this for years. They'll adapt to the line's properties and give you as much throughput as they can. I'm not sure if any commercial offerings have a way to superimpose power, but I presume there should be some sort of power available at the gate too, no?

> presume there should be some sort of power available at the gate too, no? There is and there isn't. The gate controller does have power, but the manual says not to tap into it, and it's fed low voltage a/c from a transformer elsewhere. The SDSL modems are usually too big to fit inside the box with the controller too (and it's metal, which makes wifi not an option). And, of course, it's only nice to have, so limited desire to make things fit or drill holes for antennas.
