Rega rega rega.

You got all the cards deployed on the network. Now, you are trying to
connect what ?  Back-to-back ?  Or to a hub/switch ?  If back-to-back,
then are you only going to connect two cards ? 

If any case, if you have a few machines, and you expect alot of
backbone traffic, and not only traffic to the Internet, a 100mbit switch
will help (preferably one that does 10/100 H/F duplex with autosensing).
(like 3com 3300 or such).

If your interest is in back-to-back, I think I can provide you with the
proper wiring, I'll have to get it for you later during the day.

So, what did you have in mind ?
