Hello! Not really. The 1-wire hardware was available from DS at the same time that Ethernet was doing its thing on RJ45 based thin-net networking stuff.
That same multi-pair cable is also used for phone wiring. I should also mention that phone wire RJ11/RJ12 ones are available both twisted and untwisted. The majority of phone wire examples I have here happen to be largely twisted, so I normally end up making up my own for the One-Wire stuff I do. Not surprisingly I also do not twist the ones I make up for phone functions. -- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The Force will be with you always."
