Semi-OT: Running CAT5 Cables (Stupid Question)

OK, I was pointed at http://www.linksys.com looks like they've got some
good info. However, I just noticed something that has me wondering, looks
like CAT5 only has 4 real wires made out of the 8 wires.

So... Is it possible to run at least 10BaseT over normal phoneline cable?
It just happens that a totally unused phoneline was run a couple years ago
at the same time I had a work phone put in.

Yes, I want to be lazy if possible. I'm assuming that if it is possible I
can make a RJ11-to-RJ45 adapter and plug one end into a hub in the house,
the other end into a hub in the garage.
