Has anyone wired CAT5 cable from their telephone box to inside your house? If so what wiring configuration did you do? Did you use weather resistant cable? Thanks!

You can use plain ol' twisted CAT5 cabling for phone use, when it the cable comes out of the NI make sure it's tacked to the side of the all the way to the entry to the inside of the house and it should be fine. The condiguration is the same as if you were using voice grade CAT3, you're only using one pair.
