Erm... Ethernet doesn't exactly work like that. There has to be something more sophisticated going on there, as each pin on an ethernet cable does something very specific and is intended for one recipient machine (that is, one ethernet connection uses most or all of the pins, depending on what speed your network is). Phones only use 2 pins, and most phone cables have 4 pins, allowing for this splitting. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
