Both my local well stocked independent hardware store and electrical supply
house (here in Virginia) sell direct burial telephone 2 or 3 pair. It is the
same type the Verizon phone company uses. Costs about $.26 a foot. It has a
solid copper inner jacket, plastic covered, and the wires are floating in a
clear waterproof jel. A little messy to work with if you're not used to it, but
very waterproof.
