Telephone Cable!!?? I hope u r not talking about dial-up, that service is completely obsolete and no one really uses it anymore.
If you mean an internet cable, you'll still have to buy a router to connect the main cable into and another cable to run internet to your new computer. Why would you not want wireless??

Nope. Now you can buy kind of special "Power Line" plug you put in to the electric socket in your home which got a Ethernet pin. This plug use the electrical wiring in your home to transmit information so you can connect one pc to one of these plugs throw the Lan cable and another to the other plug so that they connect each other just like in a normal home network

buy a wireless router anyway, as they also support wired connections, and you can turn off the wireless access part. I am guessing you will change your mind on that sooner if not later, so you might as well not spend the money on a router twice :)

NO. A second connection will block your other one. You need a router and then run a cat5 cable from the router to each machine.

You can use the Powerline category of Ethernet adapters[they use your homes wall power outlets and wiring], but your speed will be limited to about 11MBPS. This is not a problem unless you have a fairly large home network.
