If you can find one. You can get a 10-mbit only hub for as
low as $50, and that'll DEFINITELY be easier to find than a
"crossover cable."  It may come down to making one yourself
if you can't find one. The information is out there on the
web.... just cut one end off your existing patch cable, get
a couple new RJ-45 plug ends and a crimper, then go follow
the instructions out there on the 'net!
