During lunch I picked up a couple of CAT6 cables and a 1GHZ splitter.
So far, the splitter is working nicely, modem is happy. Next will be
the CAT6 cables, and, yes, both computers have gigabit network on
board. One cable run is the std 15ft but probably CAT5 or less (not
marked) and the other is around 20ft with the same sort of unmarked
cable and a coupler. Then we'll see what happens.
The gigbit switch is a Linksys SD2005 from the 'business' line. Found
some complaints about overheating and dying after a few months. It is
running warm, but it has a metal case for dissipation. Probably not a
good idea to put the router on top of it.....;-)

Yes, 1GHz and it also might have to be an unbalanced 4/0db if signal

Splitting the Video: One thing I haven't asked about on the list.
Wanted to split the cable line that goes to the modem so that I can
watch TV on one of the boxes (hauppauge Analog/Digital Card). The
splitter I tried to use resulted in no internet and an unhappy
modem. I think I need a 1Ghz splitter. I doubt that one was.
