Re: CAT 5

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

cat 6 is a pain.

and to tell ya the truth...I dunno why the heck we're running Cat in
residential anyway...with cheaper/better/easier wifi available it's dumb to
run all this cat stuff these days.

yah but I do it too, but I only run two or three Cat lines for puter ports -
kitchen, office, den or whatever.
