I've seen such a tool lately, it's called "Stomper", and is available for DOS/Win or OS/2. Unfortunately I've not tested it yet, and I can't say much about it, but you should be able to get it somewhere on the InterNet.

No. That is the NetWare way of making drives. Just as you partition and format drive under DOS, the NetWare way is similiar.

The plug is the male component crimped on the end of the cable while the jack is the female component in a wall plate or patch panel, etc. Here is the pin numbering to answer the question, where is pin one?

GW> Then why does everything I've read say 185 meters? GW> 185 meters is 607ft (less just over half an inch) :-) It is a margin of safety issue. IEEE nomenclature is to designate the system as MMMBBBBB-NNN, where "MMM" is the speed in Mbps, "BBBBB" is the modulation ("Base" for baseband, "Broad" for broadband), and "NNN" is the maximum cable length in hundreds of meters. Therefore, 10Base-5 (Thick Ethernet) can go up to 500 meters, while 10Base-2 (Thin Ethernet) can go up to 200 meters. It is not really a significant difference whether we say 185 or 200 meters. -- Mike --- * Origin: N1BEE BBS +1 401 944 8498 V.34/V.FC/V.32bis/HST16.8 (1:323/107) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 193 LAN Ref: EBY00000 Date: 07/26/97 From: NEIL CROFT Time: 07:29am \/To: CHUMA AGBODIKE (Read 4 times) Subj: Patch cord Hiya Chuma, On 20-07-97, whilst lying in the gutter of the information super highway, I heard Chuma Agbodike whispering to All about Patch cord, CA> What is a patch cord? I thought that it was the cord that goes from a CA> work station to the hub in a LAN. It can be a couple of things. In most wiring installations there exists a patch panel where the cables from floor ports terminate. This can either be near he hubs/switches or these can in turn be cabled to the patch frame. A patch lead is used to connect a user's data port to the appropriate service. These are generally RJ45-RJ45 leads nowadays although I have 3 AT&T 110 type frames at work. Patch leads also refers to the cable used to connect the PC to the data outlet. CA> And while you are at it is there any CAT 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 for Shielded CA> Twisted Pair (STP) cable?
