I know. I have made many of them already. But I'd prefer not to carry around CAT 5, RJ45's, and the crimper. > The USB crap isn't going to run anywhere close to 100 Mb/s -- why > bother with it? The USB "crap" runs perfectly fine and well above 100 Mb/s. It is USB2 after all, which has a bandwidth of around 400 Mb/s. I bother with it simply because USB tends to be available in most places, and it's as plug and play as you can get these days. > By the way, an old trick -- make your crossover cables out of PINK > Cat 5 cable.

Or make them with rainbow stripes. :) Then again, I am sure there are quite a lot of people who just won't care. My last 100 metres roll of CAT 5 was pink and I had no strange looks so far, nor did I care. -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, user, and author `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?
