Well, the boosted ethernet connections worked. Now I have a 2.5Gb Lan running across the house on what I am guessing is Cat 5e cabling.
It was actually very simple. I just need to plumb in one of the little QNAP boxes at the far end of the cable run and then at the receiving end the signal magically jumped up to a higher speed.
That may not sound too impressive, but it means copying a hard drive's files drops from about an hour to a few minutes. Now I have my contingent backup system located a long way from the main systems.
