Hi Mark,

Well, I don't know where you get your information, but over here in all
the catalogues I've got Cat 3 is rare or not available, Cat 4 is more
readily available but the only one that is available from all suppliers
is Cat 5.

I think you're the one digging yourself in.
MW>Just give up, I will, thanks for the chat, have a nice day.
On the basis that networks are moving towards 100 MHz, I'd like to point
out that Cat 3 is only specified to 10 MHz, Cat 4 to 16 Mhz, while Cat 5
is specified to 100 MHz. Because of this I agree with Mike, and hence
find your assertation of it's demise inexplicable.
