[JR>] wow. Thanks for the easy way to remember which pairs get crossed over. Even I can remember 568A on one end and 568B on the other. Of course, I hope I never have to make manual cables when I can buy ready made cables so cheap. At least now, I won't have to get out my cheat sheet :-) -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
