Wireless SRX technology

[jack at coats.org (Jack Coats)]

IMHO, doing the cable is doable, but not really worth it.
I suggest stringing cat-5 (even replacing cat-3 or worse phone lines with 
cat-5 if you have cross talk) if you can.  Wireless is great, but after 
using 'fixed wireless' (in my desktop, because I am moving I also removed my 
cat-5 from the house, it wasn't a pretty setup) I like the wired install 
much better.  It could be my belkin 54G router.  

Anyway, if you can, cat-5, otherwise wireless is OK, just not great.
