Ethernet - Existing Home

[kancer at kancer.978.org (Kris)]

Now adays most electrical contractors are very well experianced in
pulling cat-5 through old house walls. 
Make sure they label it good and just buy the ends with the simple snap-on
pieces and do it yourself.
I can't tell you how many times I have done this for friends and my
apartments/house ;)
You can even buy those bridge blocks and wire with 2 of the wires that
aren't being used on the cat-5 you can take and have an extra phone line
in each room.
Mix that with a nice 100mb switch off a linux box doin NAT(and a big samba
40gig export) off a cable modem and you have a sweet little network going
on(my current network in my 140 yo house). I also recommend getting an 
Apple airport box and a few of those lucent wav/LAN cards to make it
wireless -good stuff.
