Not quite so fast lad. RJ45 sockets are wired according to convention, but it has no legislative background. And you can take your cable and plug it into any RJ45 socket in the world and expect it to work - unlike those 3 pin appliance plugs. I've of course got computer gear that doesn't use them - an UPS can come configured with an Aussie or a IEEE socket, Liz -- BOFH excuse #228: That function is not currently supported, but Bill Gates assures us it will be featured in the next upgrade. _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
