Thanks to everybody for taking the trouble to follow up here and by e-mail.
The consensus seems to be that it might work but I'd have to wreck some
potentially useful cabling just to find out and the chances are that it
won't over the longish distance I'm working on. 

Considering that the new cable isn't that expensive and that I'm on holiday
for a couple of weeks over Xmas I think I'll just play it safe and do the
rewiring, I might as well put in Cat 5 cable and be ready for 100 Base-T
while I'm at it. 

Happy New Year to you all,

Gordon
