[AccessD] OT: Network over the phone lines

Yeah.  Those work well for drop ceiling.  We used to
use string tied to a Nerf football...hehehe

It can be a little more problematic in housing rafters
though, unless you have lots of space.  Most houses
here in Phoenix don't have attics, so the rafters have
like 3 feet of clearance or so tops.  Makes it a real
pain in the butt to string cable through....hehee
