POTS and Ethernet over CAT-5 Cable
Is it possible to use some of the extra wires in CAT-5 cable to run a POTS line or two? I heard that Ethernet only uses two of the eight wires. Is this true? If so, seems like I could run 3 POTS lines in addition to my Ethernet over my CAT-5 home network.
If this is correct, are there any jacks available that would make this easier than cutting open my cables? Thanks.
