100baseT uses pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 in the RJ-45 connector, or two pairs.
I have had fine luck with running two 100mbps connections or one 100mbps
and two phone connections on a single 4-pair cat5 cable.  I pulled a
bunch of cable shortly after we moved into our house, and it's been
performing quite nicely.
