A little soldering is no issue, spending money is. Okay, this is just silly. Here: http://www.nic.funet.fi/index/mac/doc/phone-net-connectors.txt . Three minutes of Google searching turned that up. All I did was type in PhoneNet and schematic. I thought the Berkeley MUG hint would help but it wasn't even needed. Not quite on topic, but I found this an interesting primer on LocalTalk troubleshooting: http://www.zocalo.net/tng/book/Chap4.html . It turned up in the same search. Lots of good info on which Phonenet connectors are more reliable and which star hubs have which advantages and disadvantages. Not so relevant today, but perhaps useful to those of us with Vintage macs. Searching on Google is like looking up a word in the dictionary. I find it impossible not to get sidetracked.
