- A local place (Baltimore area) quoted me under $100 for a 1000 foot
- roll of Category 5 twisted pair (4 pair). How much more expensive can
- it be than Category 3 or that untwisted stuff? Needless to say, we
- had our new townhome wired with home runs of it, so we should be able
- to run a 100 MB/s network over the phone wiring. I just hope I don't
- need to put the router in the unheated garage :-).
