You can buy these Jim, we sell them in our MasterTrade and Corys
branches for example. They work just fine. You can get Data / Data
splitters as well as Phone / Data.

what about a laplink type arrangement ?
eg booting up under dos and trying out laplink / fast wire (i have
this program if you want to try it ( fits on a 1.44 floppy so could
email to you ) but then you'd need a box at both ends running dos or
win9x.

hmm looking closer I am not so sure now, maybe it was a similar thing
but wired for two data.
looking now at jaycar...

I have a small cabling problem, and a thought for a solution - but
no actual tools to test it out ...
I have a long run of a single UTP cable from the garage to the
study at home. No opportunity to run a second cable (we tried a
second one at the time the first was put in, but there was no way
it was going to fit through the cable run that has been made).
Now, for purposes of network segregation, I need to have two
classes of network at both ends of that single cable. I'm not able
to VLAN the switches at either end (which is the 'expensive
equipment' way to solve problems of sharing things).
However, it's an 8-core cable with all 8 wired up, and utp signals
only over 4 wires. So I should be able to basically have two RJ45s
at each end, and therefore have two independent signals.
I don't know if there's an official wiring spec for this usage -
any references welcome. However, even if I pick a 'bad' way to use
the cable, I'll still get useable signal out of it.
Now, because the cable in question is physically pretty much stuck
where it is, and I'd hate to stuff it up, I'm proposing leaving it
entirely untouched. But what I can do, I hope, is to get a couple
of double-headed extension cables ... a single socket at one end,
and a pair of plugs at the other end. If the socket bit is
difficult to sort out, I could use a plug and then one of those
double-socket extenders to join on to the original.
Now, has anyone tried a double-headed cable? Care to whip up a
couple for me? ;-)
