I'm buying a new house. The interior walls aren't up yet, so now's the time to do any custom wiring I might want in the next ten years (assuming I don't get transferred or something...) I've already asked the builder to run 6-pair cable to every room (one voice line, one data/FAX line, an AppleTalk LAN, an intercom, and two pair for things I haven't thought of yet). Are there any special instructions I should give him? Serial as opposed to parallel? Is it worth asking for a punchdown block in the basement? (Given my job and my affiliation, I expect to buy residential ISDN as soon as it's made available.) I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
