While I  was reading the discussion about utp on this newsgroup, a few
quesstions arose and I hope you can help me to answer these:

1) does this work on really unshielded wires?
2) is a pair ( 2 ) of wires really sufficient?
3) do you have to stick to one single companie's type of utp equipment or
   is there some standart, so you could mix different hardware?
4) what are the limitations of this approach:
   -minimum/maximum distance between two stations,
   -sensivity of surrounding environment, etc
5) what are your expierences and what hardware can you recommend, I only 
   know about STARLAN (I think from AT&T), what other companies offer this?

Thanks in advance
                   hans
