It also assumes that it's a straight wire with no splices in it along the way. That's not a great assumption.

On my coach there are three phone outlets. The one in the back outside bay, one by the dining table and one up front by the passenger seat. You will probably have a lot better luck running your Cat-6 cable down and thru the bays than trying to use the old phone cable as a pull line.

I like how this turned into a debate over wi-fi vs. LAN. Work does not allow Wi-Fi for my home server, unfortunately; but I still have wi-fi already for many of my devices.


It appears I will be running a new CAT6 and leave the old phone line in place (its only a 2 wire line).


Thanks for the thoughts! Much appreciated, as always.
