You can run Ethernet and a POTS line in the same cat5 cable if you ever want to extend your network to the trailer.

Are you an idiot or a troll?

No Sandy Andy. I have a great deal of experience in the telecom and data field which I doubt you have. So why don't you tell everyone about your vast experience in computer network industry. ( ?? ?? ?? )

I had a BICSI certification and I would not put POTS on an Ethernet
cable, even if I knew I would never have a gigabit LAN.
It "works" but I heard you could run Twinax on a barbed wire fence and
it "works". I wouldn't try that either.

Exactly!

I'm not an expert but it seems like having pots feed into ethernet cable is a really bad idea...especially if you live in an area with frequent thunderstorms.
