Sorry about my confusing language -
I would like the phone and NET to work equally well in both structures.

- Keep "the modem" in the structure 1
- Roll out Cat 5e between structure 1 and Structure 2.
- use one (twisted) pair of wires on Cat 5e cable to carry phone traffic (connect in parallel with existing line in structure 1).
- Use two (twisted) pairs of Cat 5e cable to carry Ethernet traffic (only four wires are needed for 100Mbit traffic, and I doubt your ADSL modem can provide even half of it).
- If your ADSL modem has a built in switch, you can just plug the structure 2 into one of ports. Otherwise, you will need a network switch as well.
- In order to split cat 5e cable into "two" cables with four wires each, you will need an adapter on each side.
