We have several spare pairs of 0.8 square millimeter solid copper
cable between 2 buildings (a 250 meter stretch).  Our technicians call
it 'signalisation cable'.

Can we use them as a PhoneNet LocalTalk 'backbone' or do we need to
put in new standard twisted pair cabling :-( ?
How many pairs do we need ?  And how would you connect this cable to
the Faralon supplied cable that we intend to use on both sides ?
We're just in the planning stage and technical advice is hard to get by
over here.

Thanks,
