Adam, Re: Can a DIYer install 100M line and have it function correctly? Yes. I believe almost all the UTP cable today are CAT 5 which should handle 100M properly. Gary

Adam, it's basically the same CAT5 approved wire - I believe the only real difference is the number of wires you connect. CAT5 has 4 pairs and generally it's a good idea to just hook all eight wires up so you can run either speed. The connectors/modules I'm using from Lucent are color coded the same as the wire (orange, green, blue and brown) other than using a punch down tool it's no more complex than doing 110 punch down of phone wire and uses the same tool.
