The remainder of the mail gave instructions and identified colors of specific
wires. Two points:
1. 4,5,7,8 are not used and since it is tricky lining up all the wires when
creating the cross-over, it's usually easier to cut the unused wires back
to where you strip the outside insulation.
2. Assuming you use a standard cable and cut off one connector that you will
replace with a cross-over, don't rely on the colors for pin identification.
