I get the impression that two-node 10Bt networking can
be done with
nothing but a crossover cable. (IE the chaining connection on hubs is
just a crossover) Is this possibly true, using just the cable?
If all you're trying to do is hook two machines together you
don't need a hub or anything else, just a CAT5 cross-over cable. You
can either roll your own or Belkin makes a nice one, p/n R7J304.
They're actually pretty easy to find. We used to play network games
like this between two systems without actually being connected to the
LAN.
