Hey Pat, thank you for your hints. But I did this 'crimping' once before. And it was awful for me! I will have a look. But, Düsseldorf??? Never!!! It's like - don't know - asking Yale to help Oxford!!!!! Well, Düsseldorf is only 30 Kilometers away, but I already told my opinion. Sorry to all Düsseldorfer out there ... ;-) I don't need cross wired connections. So, do I still need a tester? -- Toby ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Toby's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2676 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19053 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
