[HECnet] Multi-floor household (DECnet) routing help needed

[Dennis Boone]

I'm considering powerline as well instead of bugging someone to do the
crimping for me or running cables along the siding. ;)

The cableco will run cable outside; why shouldn't you? :)

As to crimping, don't.   Buy patch cables.   It's easier, and _far_ more
reliable.   Individual punch down blocks are easier to get right, larger
and easier to see, and a neater solution.   Home improvement stores sell
the little baseboard boxes and keystone jacks, and have cheap little
plastic tools for terminating the wire so the investment is minimal.
