Question:  If you only want to connect two systems together, via Ethernet,
it seems that it should be possible to do this simply with a transceiver
cable properly adapted to rearrange the signals.  We have some special
situations in which this would be desireable (ie. much cheaper).  Does
anybody sell such an adaptor?

If this can't be done, could someone explain to me why not, or why you
MUST have a transceiver?

Please reply via e-mail.  If requested, I will post a summary.

Thanks in advance.
