Hi,
Why would you want differetn pinouts?
Pins 1 & 2 and 3 & 6 give a Transmit and Receive pair. Pins 5 & 4 are often used by
telco type connections (modems, phones, isdn) and token ring. There are some nice
things about all of this in that you often can do less damage (by incorect plugging
up) using the designs the gurus came up with.
