However, I have a crossover cable that I have used to interconnect two
Intel 100VG cards. This is the crossover cable:

It says Ethernet and it says VG AnyLan. I know VG AnyLan was supposed to
replace Ethernet, but I was not aware that anybody ever called them both

Be aware: you need 'special' 100VG switches for these cards to be able
to use them. You can't use them with a cross-cable.
