Greetings:
  Thank you for the information!  Your idea of PVC conduit is a pretty
good idea, although it might look a little gaudy ;)
  And I have to agree!  AFAIK, CATV lines are *usually* stapled to the
wall studs UNLESS the house did not have preexisting wiring!  In that
case, the CATV lines were probably run along the outside walls.
  I'll inquire with my network staff for more research material, as
I'm curious as to why 75ohm cable would be that much of a problem?!?

Thanx, again :)
