I am in the process of networking two computer. (This is my first time)
I will be purchasing Cat5E cable. I also need to run a phone line. Are there any surface mounted wall jacks that will have two outputs, one for RJ-45 and the other for the phone line. I have read that for networking only 3 pairs of wire are used. The other pair I will use for the phone line.

Thanks

At the school I work at we use cat5e for both phone and network. The rj11 plugs work just fine in the rj45 jacks. Get a two jack plate and wire one for computer and the other for phone. Wire Cat5e to both jacks. On the cable that will be used for phone wire up the 2 middle wires, blue and blue/white to the phone connection.
