OT: recommended home network installer

[Kevin Brown]

>>>Our new house came (mostly) pre-wired with cat-5 and cable going to
>>>most rooms.  I say "mostly", though, because the cat-5 was never
>>>connected into any switch in the OnQ section and one room never got any
>>>wiring at all. Since that room happens to be my main computer room,
>>>it's the one room that really needs it.
>>>
>>>So what I need is some outfit that can come out and do the following:
>>>1. Install two net cat-5 wires (one each for network and phone) into an
>>>existing room.
>>>2. Setup my OnQ box to have all rooms be networked

>>>I know I could go with the company that installed the system in the
>>>first place... but I wasn't very impressed when I talked to them and
>>>their prices seemed a bit high.  I was hoping that others on this list
>>>would have had some work like this done on their house and would have
>>>recommendations on good local companies.

>>My Dad did the wiring in this house, so I don't have any recommendations

I might be able to get a recommendation for someone from my boss to run the 
cabling, but I can't reach him till next week when he gets back from vacation.
