You can run 4 phone lines over 1 cat5, and network over the second...

CAT5 is 4 pair (8 strands) wire, looks like phone jacks but has 8 connectors in it (RJ45, vs. RJ11 for phone)

You most likely aren't going to be able to get wireless signal in/out of the metal building (wireless network, hand held phone, cell phone, etc)

Can I simply pull 1 Cat5 thru and use it for both a phone line and computer network? Sorry, I know absolutely nothing about this stuff.
