Plain old telephone wire? If you think about the length of wire that runs through the wall to the connector at the outside of the building, I can't believe that it would make much difference. I know (from crawling around under my house) that it is 25 feet or so from the outside wall to the jack where my computer is located. Farther to the jacks upstairs.
If you use the largest size wire you can find (shielded would be even better) you can probably get away with a hundred feet or more.
