-> I would suggest Category 3 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair).  I just
-> had some new phone lines put in, and thats what they used to bring
-> it into the house. Cat 3 should be more than adequate for phone/modem
-> use. Cat 5 would be overkill unless you plan to run 100meg
-> Ethernet on the same cabling plant some day...
Would having a shielded twisted pair yield better performance, less
errors, or would it not make much of a difference?  What is the
difference between Cat 3 and 5?
