Hi All

What a pain doing email in a browser.

To start I moved so I no longer live in the old location ie Tampa.

I have I think dial up if I can make the phone system work. The issue of making the phone system work has little to do with the phone system and more to do with the big stack of boxes in front of it but that is another story. One issue is that I must run a new phone line and that brings up a interesting question.

Comming from Maw Bell, not a Verison system but an old Maw Bell system, the two conductor black cable from the telephone pole connects to the side of the house, enters a lightning errestor, and then passes into the basement where it goes to a junction box.

Is there any particular type of wire one must use on the line side feeding to the wall connector that then passes to the eathernet ? I know on the out side of the eathernet modem one needs to use cat 5 but since I am refering to the hardwiring on the input side of the modem not to the output side which uses cat 5 what does one use?
