That's what we did a long time ago, when I was working for an Apple dealer.
We used a pair of phone wire that wasn't used by the phone system. We put a
special wall jack next to the phone jack and everybody was using PhoneNets.
That worked well. Don't know about the resistance,though...

gib /jib/: 1. vi. To destroy utterly. Like frag, but much more violent and
final. "There's no trace left. You definitely gibbed that bug". 2. n.
Remnants after total obliteration. Originated first by id software in the
game Quake. It's short for giblets (thus pronounced "jib"), and referred to
the bloody remains of slain opponents. Eventually the word was verbed, and
leaked into general usage afterward.
