	Leonard,

	Doh! I asked too late. The CAT-5 is already installed in the walls
with two loose ends. Regardless though, most rooms have three CAT-5's run
to a box, allowing for (hopefully) either a 2 phone, 1 net, or 1 phone 2
net type of configuration. The ability to swap between these two
configurations in an easy manner is what I am looking for.
