Depending on what was sent to any given event, this is usually not the case. The way I was set up at Great Lakes was as follows:

Server: Win2K laptop running filemaker server and NOTHING else
FTP: Win98 computer running filemaker and a continuous connection to Earthlink for results uploading. No problems noted at GLR caused by having LAN and dialup connection simultaneously.
A/V: Win2K laptop running Flash timer/real time scoring app and Filemaker.
Pit: Win98 computer with only LAN connection to server.

My experience is that most of the problems with the pit connection were not caused by the dialup connection interfering with the LAN, but rather the router/hub used for the network being somewhat sensitive to power fluctuations, as well as defects being introduced into the VERY long LAN cable running from scoring to the pit. I know that last year, one problem was caused by our LAN cable getting pinched in a doorway.
from what i learned in cisco networking all cables including cat 5 are only as good as the length there cut at while including the amount of times it could get squashed or various pinches. have u tried using a repeater located close to half the length of cable to capture the entire signal and resend it.
