I was putting together a crossover cable the otherday and noticed that 
the pinout for 100base-TX is different from 100base-T4.  TX uses only 
4 pins (the same as 10bT) but T4 uses all 8.  

So my question is, what's the difference?  (Well, besides the 
4-pin/8-pin thing)  What advantage does one have over the other?

Peace,
Drew
