ISP Information:
An Ethernet cable using RJ-45 connectors, where one end of the cable has the order of the second two pairs of the 8 wires (green and orange) swapped. Instead of wires 1, 2, 3, and 6 going straight through, you have 1 going to 3, 2 going to 6, 3 going to 1, and 6 going to 2. (Thanks to DN for pointing that out.) You can use a crossover cable to directly connect two 10BaseT or 100BaseT network cards, basically making a net
ISP Glossary:
Crossover Cable - [TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: There you go, Earle! Did Joey get you straightened out, or didn't he? Don't you just love Canadians who like to pretend they are arrogant USA citizens, with their general dislike for so much of the customs of the rest of the world? PAT]The editor's credibility might be improved substantially if he wouldpresent facts to demonstrate why Joey's various points are notcorrect. Accusations of arrogance are not particularly useful;rational argument requires actual data.But this is Usenet. Sorry, I forgot.[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: You are forgiven for forgetting thistime around. But this Usenet (the very same!) is where Joey Lindstromcan make comments to Earle such as:(Quoting from the back issue a couple days ago:) Y'know, the way you really, really stretch credulity in order to construct an argument -- ANY argument -- that something French is better than something American, reminds me a whole lot of something that Robin Williams said in his recent concert video. Imagine, if you will, Robin speaking in an over-the-top French accent, and saying something like the following (paraphrased to keep it in a g-rated context): "Ah, screw you Americans, we hate you ... What's that? Ze Germans are coming? 'ALLO, AMERICANS! WE LOVE YOU!!!" Joey LindstromSo while you are reminising about Usenet and the things you have for-gotten about it, please remember the above as well. In no *moderated*newsgroup would the above total disdain for an entire nation of peoplebe permitted, as Joey has done. And those final two lines above whichbegin, "ah screw you Americans" was the basis of my response to JoeyLindstrom. So while you complain about my dearth of factual matter,perhaps you might ask Mr. Lindstrom to explain where the above fitsin to anything. PAT]
