Hi Joe,
    Ok, I have a related question....

    I keep being told/asked about "Cat 7" wiring???  Albeit the people doing the
asking are the same who say that we should get rid of our HP 3000 because it
won't do web and networking and so on .... hehehehe

     But is there such a thing as "Cat 7"???

Thanks,
Art "I hate Accounting Software!!!!" Bahrs

This is true, however, even though the HP3000 only does 10 megabits
right now, LANs can do 100 megabits, and more are being converted to
100 megabit every day...  My advice is to plan for the future and
install Cat5 for new wiring or you might just be replacing it in the
future.

Just a thought...and my 2c worth...

Joe
