LocalTalk requires 2 cores.  PhoneNet cabling usually uses 4-core flat
phone wire - not twisted pairs.  I've got one length of original,
genuine Apple LocalTalk cabling, but I'm not hacking it apart to see
what's inside - I suspect 2 cores and a screen.

I doubt the Apple LocalTalk cable will be any use; although PhoneNet
wires should be okay for short runs.
