The proper way to run the line to your shop is to use a buried phone cable there are basically two types of wire that you can use one is the standard buried wire, this is the type with the gel in it to keep out water, the ouher is called USW univeral service wire and can be used both aerial or buried. If you have a telephone network interface box I would run the line from there to your shop. If you don't have an interface box, have the local telco install one. This will give you a place to test your phoneline if you ever have trouble. Buried service wire is about 20 - 25 cents per foot and can be found a your local hardware store. Talk to the local phone guy you can probably get 30 of 40 ft for nothing out of thier scrap bin. you dont need to use cat5 wire and being a phone guy myself I would not recommend burying cat 5 or any other type of inside wire.The reason being is that the plastic insulation, no matter how hard the manufactures try they cannot make a totally water proof insulation due to the molecular make up of the insulation. water intrusion into phone cable is a major cause of weater related phone problems.
