Doubling 100MBit ethernet by splitting the cable



Hi!

Long time ago I've read that 100mbit ethernet uses only 2 pairs
which leaves half of wires unused and thus when there's such a
need - these can be used to create second 100mbit connection
on the same cable (and connect second computer w/o the need of
another cable).

I've googled quite much and I am sure that's possible (with all
doubts that it's non-standard solution etc.) [0]. But I still
can't find good description (with images/asciiart preferred) of
how to do this exactly?

Thanks in advance

PS: Getting an another cable is out of question here.
