I wrote a few weeks back about switiching from a shared ADSL line to
Speakeasy One Link, or some similar dedicated-pair service because the
phone line I have is so noisy that my DSL cuts out, and I can't use my
phone. Several folks on the list suggested I redo my inside wiring, and
the noise has gotten so bad in the last two days that I'm actually
motivated to do it. I have a couple questions about the wiring to use;
I'm a little fuzzy on TP vs UTP, and whether it would make a difference
when running cat5 for use with a 2-wire phone line. Also, I know wiring
ethernet has to be done using particular pins to prevent crosstalk;
should I use specific pins for wiring my phone jack? If so, which are best?
TIA!
