Unless, of course, it's CAT-5 solid.  ;)  It comes in both types.  I've 
got about 7 twisted cable plugs to prove it.  I accidentally bought a 
few stranded-wire plugs which I used with solid-wire cable.  It was 
pretty cool to see how much a crimper can mangle a plug...

I'm definitely interested.  I'm trying to set up an ATI Remote Wonder 
(RF) to control my Myth box and a "home-brew" transmitter so my Myth box 
can control my satellite receiver, A/V receiver, VCR, and TV.  (I figure 
I could do it with two instances, one for the Remote Wonder and one for 
the transmitter.)  Any information you've got is bound to save me some time.

Thanks,
Mike
