And, an indispensible tool for home wiring is one of those 54 inch flexible
drill bits.  Home depot has them for about $30.  Just cut your hole in the
wall with a Rotozip, and stick the drill bit in the wall and bend it down to
the floor and drill your hole into the basement.  

I just bought one and I don't know how I got along without it.  It's even
got a hole on the end to attach cable to, so you can pull it through the
wall.

I've had good luck with GoldCom in South St. Paul. They handle all sorts
of networking connectors, cable, etc.
