Define "flawless" in regards to the generation of RFI from UTP
to surrounding communications equipment, and TO the LAN from say
a 1kw transmitter at HF frequencies an a couple at U/VHF freqs
with 50w out, sitting within a few feet of the UTP cable run.
I've been able to minimize the RFI from the computers themselves
by extreme measures of shielding and grounding, and I don't want
the LAN to be a new source of noise.  So, stray RF is my main 
concern and reason for prefering STP.  Do you still disagree ?  ;)
BTW: Jeff, do you have a spare hub/cables that need a home ?
     Like I said, utp is OK for now, just to get the LAN running.
Sincerely,
