We are in need of a way to extend our network across a conduit to an
adjacent building.  To simplify matters, we'd like to use an "ethernet
extender" device that hooks two halves of an ethernet together
with a fiber optic cable and looks like a repeater (?).  I seem to
remember that something like this exists, but I don't remember much
about it.  Does anyone know about such a product?

Does anyone have clever ideas of how to connect two ethernets in
different but adjacent buildings (don't bother to tell me about
gateways, I know about them).
