CAT3 and CAT5 cable are specifically rated for 10BaseT LAN usage, the
difference being the number and size of the conductors and the shielding
(this is where my knowledge gets fuzzy, I'm sure I'll be corrected so
I'll leave that to someone more at home playing with copper :-) ).

[Dave Gale]  Minor correction Catagory 3 is rated up to 12 Megabit (a little fuzzy on this, but it's slightly higher than 10), Cat5 is 100.

Sorry this is soooo late, just catching up after being out of the office.
