Ello.
I'm thinking about getting ADSL broadband into my parents house (long decision - how long will I be living here, how much will I use it, is it worth £15 a month (i.e. my parents pay £15, I pay £15)...) anyway, one of the things I am going to do is install a network into the house, just for fun ;)
I'm planning on running a cat5 cable down the stairs and replace the phone lines as I go so thats the first question - does anyone know where I can get wiring diagrams? I know how to wire a cat 5 plug (hence a socket) but no ideas on phone line implementation.
Second, if I decide to get broadband (v. likely) who makes decent & cheap modems? I already have a Netgear FS108 switch (bought ages ago) and plan to use that as the network hub and run the modem off it...
Thanks for the thoughts...
