Thanks for the input. I know the builders use Cat5e, as I've actually seen their runs (which are far from impressive).

One was terminated with RJ11 for phone, and the other two were RJ45...it was nice having the flexibility of those three lines coming in to each room...I miss it now that I have moved into an existing house that had no decent wiring of any kind put in. I would check to see if whoever your contractor uses for phone does data as well...back when I built my house, those guys generally didn't have a clue...but I think most do now. I got one of the network guys from RTI who does stuff on the side to come in right before the sheetrock went up. At the time, I think it only cost my a few hundred dollars, including materials. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
