Intel has various methods: PCI cards, USB hubs, wireless. I have the first two. Just plug the phone lines in, run the software and you are good to go. Again thanks for all the info. The main point is: I cannot run an ethernet wire from first floor to attic. (I don't want to). So I will use the intel system. In a completely differnt direction, but the same topic: I'm planning on renovating my house. (Don't get me started on buying/selling contracts). If you could, what phone/cable/other wall outputs would you add? I figure I'll have two cable prongs and two phone jacks on each wall. Anything else? A home improvment show had the installers running a 3/4 PVC pipe between rooms for any future stuff like speaker wires. The main reason I'm doing this: I have hot water heat, which I love, but without the duct work it's hard to have whole house AC. A local company has an AC system which uses very small ducts. Instead of running them outside of the existing inside walls and into closets, which they normally do, I'm going for the whole shebang so I can take care of many problems at once. (Like the whole house having 3-prong outlets, but it's only wired for 2 lines, no ground.) Kevin T. Hammer time
