Twisted pair goes a long long way - miles even. Whether it is in the
house or down the street makes no difference. 10 feet or 100 should be

how
far away you can have a CPU from a phone jack (for a dialup connection)

into a
hallway (don't ask) and I'm hoping to just run a phone cord from the
nearest
phone jack which, unfortunately, is about 15-20 feet away.
