Actually it's NOT RECOMMENDED. Phone lines are relatively speaking
high voltage compared to Ethernet. Even if you don't get continous
interference issues, there is a good chance you'll see transients
coming in over the phone line that may interfere or even physically
harm the Ethernet connected equipment.

Gigabit Ethernet uses all four pairs in the cable, so upgrading the
network is out of the question.

Also, if you ever crosswire the phone line into a network card you
have a good chance of creating smoke.

This is like swapping colors in an electric install. Sure the green
wire works just as well as the black for "hot", but the guy that
comes after you may get a surprise...
