	If you are only interested in picking up a short run of
	Twisted Pair, I would like to recommend the use of a
	thin to Twisted Pair Balun.  A local company makes these 
	things, and the preliminary testing shows that it is
	excellent in terms of throughput vs errors.  The cost is
	roughly 40-50$/pair.  It is not a replacement for the
	10BaseT standard, but it is a cheap way of bringing ethernet
	to a small run of Twisted Pair, and it will do as a
	temporary measure.

Tim
