We use Cat5E cables all the time for T1s, with no problems.  What kinds of 
errors do you get?  I suspect the errors are the result of something other 
than using Cat5E cable.  Are the cable pre-made or do you make them 
yourself?  Are you re-setting the line build-out at all?  25 feet isn't a 
problem - in fact you might be getting a hot signal from the smartjack
