There's a reason why category 5 cable is twisted the way it is... to eliminate or greatly reduce RF crosstalk on the wires... Now what would happen if you split those wires between 2 different signals and kept them tightly packed together? Can we say random data corruption, mysterious errors and terrible performance? Bingo! Again, this kind of thing might be ok for a small home network, but you can't seriously suggest it for a business... _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
