Looking for suggestions for a hardwired home intercom system. I don't
think the intercom systems are the way to handle audio in the house so
that just leaves an intercom doing intercom duty. It seems most of
these that are hardwired require shielded wiring so I can't just
prewire some cat5 wire and figure out a vendor later.

What do you folks like for pure intercom duty? That doesn't cost an
arm and a leg?
