Hmmmm, let me think. I never thought of that, that someday we will be
connecting a workstation to a modem with a Cat5 cable.
Workstation to a modem, ? no the rule does not apply
How about a TV to a VCR? no, it does not apply neither.
How about the toaster? nooope.
You are right, that is not a good rule. Don't use it.

How about when you connect a workstation to a modem will this rule apply? I
think not.
This rule will only be applicable to LAN devices but for WAN devices the
rule as Sebastian pointed out should be applied.
>>The rule is:
>>connecting devices of the same OSI layer, use cross-over cable.
>>connecting devices of different layers, use straight through.
>>A workstation is considered layer3.
