Easier just to buy the newer power strips that have 2 rows of jacks, second

What Doc did is perfectly reasonable. And even if
the JetDirect
develops
a dead short inside, the new power cube is only 20% more capacity,
hardly increasing the fire hazard (more than appliances already are :-)
Thank you all, and if anybody cares, after 24 hours of fairly heavy
use neither the adapter nor JetDirect proper are more than mildly warm
to the touch.
One very nice thing about the Sprint adapter is that it has an actual
cord & plug between PSU and outlet. I guess that makes it a
floor-wart. :) Half the jacks in my power strips are wasted because
the wall-warts take up 3 slots. I think I'll solder cords on all of
'em.
