I put an adaptor on our master socket and patched it into my cat5e
structured cabling.

Structured cabling is the ideal solution, I agree, but I can't really
justify the expense of retrofitting it to a house when I don't need
audio/video distribution, and I have DECT phones and wireless
networking is cheap.

I *love* structured cabling, and I'd fit it to any new house or
renovation.
