Scott,
May I add some more info. The Token Ring crossover cable is often use to
connect two MAU together.
http://www.cmt-nc.com/cables_ultd_pgs/utp.htm
Some MAU have Ring In and Ring Out ports. If they don't you can use the
crossover cable to connect two MAUs together. That is the only use for the
crossover cable, unlike the Ethernet crossover cable which can be use to
connect two end-stations together or two hub/switch together.
