Bob Green elaborated on your requirements and reasoning somewhat.  I can see why
you've chosen this approach.  The only thing I'd try to steer you clear of is
using flat phone cables.  Regardless what you use, when you get the whole system
up I'd enjoy reading about it.

Allow me to reiterate what I said earlier.  My comments about what is easy were
not intended as a slight.  We all have different experience sets.  'Nuff said?
