[comp.dcom.telecom] phone wiring for a modem

dbj@RICE.EDU.UUCP (05/14/87)

I need to wire a new phone line through a house for use with a modem.
Is there some kind of sheilded phone cable that I could use to help
reduce any noise in the connection?  Anything else I should be aware
of when routing the wire such as not getting too close to electrical
wires?  Thanks.

    i also expect to be installing a new line soon, so any advice or
horror stories would be appreciated.
