Message-ID: Date: 3 Mar 91 02:04:54 GMT Sender: news@bu.edu.bu.edu Organization: TELECOM Digest Lines: 12 Approved: Telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@eecs.nwu.edu X-Telecom-Digest: Volume 11, Issue 175, Message 5 of 13 I would appreciate information on whether a 50-conductor phone cable, presently serving a 1A2 system, would be appropriate for shared use as the wiring of a LAN. Is one use likely to interfere with the other and under what conditions (ringing affect LAN, LAN affect voice or modem calls, etc.) and what could be done to eliminate or minimize these effects. Performance limits on the LAN with such wiring are also of interest. Jeff Sicherman
