   Not wanting cat5 for the phone, in my earlier searches I saw a photo of a   
   Bluetooth dongle that had a hole in it for a cat5 plug    
      
   The first time I heard about Bluetooth was when I was in line at store and the   
   person behind me was talking a lot and when I asked who they were talking to I   
   learned they had a earpiece with a mike that used Bluetooth to talk over their   
   cellphone.

   I'm a hardhead.
