RE: [SLUG] [ot] Using telephone wiring for networking?

["Rowling, Jill" <Rowling@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Depends on length. I seem to recall some interesting figures for short
lengths (say 6m) for the old 1980's style phone cable. I suspect the
claims you are talking about are from people using CAT5 twisted pair
which is data cable, also used for phones.
Also was the claim for running 100MBit/s continuously, or for running
100baseT which is slower?

Cheers,

Jill.

Dear List,

I have seen claims that normal twisted pair telephone can work up to 
100MBits/Sec.

Has anyone had any experience  with it in the real world?
