Ok...it's a 2-Megabit connector, pre-AUI. I happen to have 50-feet of that cable and a couple of those cards lying around. DR> Nevertheless thanks a lot. Your best bet is still to get a couple NE2000-compatible cards for about $35 (US) and use those.

If you could help, would be appreciated. Question for today.. (1) Does hydroxyl absorption affect all wavelengths linearly? (ie: I'm trying to make a graph, which shows absortion in dB attenuation due to the 'water bands' in F.O. So I need to know if all IR wavelengths are attenuated the same amount of dB's by the OH- and other impurities.) Although most of the books I have on the subject say the attenuation is linear, I suspect it is not.. it cant be.. Different wavelengths have hence different 'energy values' of light (planks constant) and so each wavelength must cause a different amount of atomic resonation (which is what causes the absorption.) --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: Brian's World (516)-331-5540 Long Island, NY (1:2619/232) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 193 LAN Ref: F4200006 Date: 03/30/98 From: SCOTT HUFFMAN Time: 10:45pm \/To: SCOTT HUFFMAN (Read 4 times) Subj: Re: Hydroxyl Absorption SH> Question for today..

Most hubs have at least one port that can be set for either straight-through or crossover -- usually by having two jacks wired to the same port number (one straight one "Xed") or some type of toggle switch to accomplish the same. I have run into a few cheap ones that required the use of a crossover cable to make the initial connection to the hub with the remaining connections being done with straight-through cables. You'll have to check the hub's documentation to see how crossover is handled.
