Several readers have commented on the utility and cost of PhoneNet.  I want
to add my name to this list.  This stuff is GREAT.  We buy bulk RJ-11
wire and cut to length.  You can crimp on connectors in seconds.  We also
use their Star Controller, another great product.  For anyone who is
administering an AppleTalk net out there, I suggest you give Farallon a
call.  They have tremendous products and service.
