3. put in extra wires. unterminated (no jacks) wires are cheap, and
<BR>> it's just as cheap to run 2 or 3 to a spot as 1 except for the
wire.<BR><BR>I agree with you<BR>> <BR>> 4. decide what speed you want.
I put in CAT 5 wire and used 2 pair per <BR>> jack which gives me
100mbit ethernet. gigbit ethernet is actually 4 <BR>> pairs at 250
mbits and you need all 8 cat 6 wires.<BR>><BR>CAT5 should be fine, but I am
