ayuh.  i know about that one...  (try taking a look at my domain
name...  <evil grin>)  i'm trying to plan ahead so that i could have
more than two machines connected...  until i DO have a hub (what's the
point of having one until i NEED one?), crossovers are a good deal...

ummm...  you mean those wires with the modular-phone-looking
connectors on the end?  the RJ-45?  nope.  never seen 'em.  i just
make them for fun when i'm building my network....  <g>

bear in mind that i go to Radio Shack for the entertainment value...
i've only seen one or two salespeople (MAX!) that actually knew what
they were talking about.....  one of the two i give partial credit
because i asked if they had any RJ-45 crimpers, and she remembered
seeing "RJ-11" on the phone stuff, so she knew that it was something
like it....

thanx for the offer, though...  :)
