Just use the Cat5 for everything. An RJ-11 will fit in an RJ-45 jack just fine. Tie it all back to a patch pannel in the basement and then you can patch phones/ethernet/whatever to your hearts content.
It's ammusing that this is still floating around the net. First time I remember seeing it was back on my 286 when I downloaded AcidWarp. Sure enough, the docs are still on Noah's site.

I've used the 2, 4 and 8 port Belkin Omniview KVM's with resolutions up to 1600x1200 with no problems at all, other than the fact that the switch itself can often lead to visible distortion, easily solved by moving it a foot or two away. The 4 port version can be had for about $100 on buy.com, if money is not a concern, Raritan KVM's offer a lot of nice features (user level access control, multiple consoles, etc) at a reasonable price.
Rule number 1 in Linux -- If it's worth doing, someone probably already has. Earthlink has published a really great paper on this subject. Definately worth the read http://www.earthlink.com/about/ papers/mailarch.html
Contrary to some of the postings, this is right on topic for today's world. Any of you following national news have probably heard or read quite a bit about the physicians union being started around the AMA, and I think any geeks interested in organized labor and collective barganing should take note of this activity, a lot of the issues that apply to the medical union concept will face any geek movement as well.
First, consider that it's against federal anti-trust laws for self-employed individuals to create or join unions, the doctors are trying to get a special congressional waiver for their union, we'd have to do the same, or leave all the independant contractors out in the cold.
Second, would you really want to strike? Is your life enough like peoples on the opposite coast that you want someone you'll probably never meet bargaining for you? It's not like its hard to get whatever you want from companies now, do we really need help? I'm not at all convinced that a union would be in my best interest.

You know, as these chips start to get faster and faster, they should design some functional cases/motherboards. I want to be able to cook ramen on my P3 and fry eggs with my SMP alpha.

Another nice alternative is Cobalt Networks' SSL server, that as of this morning was still $99. You can order it online over at Cobalt Networks.

Gee, since I can pull down ISO images of audio CD's, write them and playthem on my discman, I guess sony owes them a buttload of money.

Anyone notice the description for their "Chat"?
