Many of us have twisted pair cable plants with RJ45 plugs in offices
that might be any of asynch terminal connections, Localtalk/Phonenet,
10baseT, or other data services.  I'd like some easy and
user-comprehensible way to provide labels describing the type of
service on each live outlet in a wall plate or harmonica.  None of the
standard cable labelling vendors (AMP, Panduit, etc.) seem to have what
I want.  Does anyone have good suggestions?

Some sites use color-coded dots or custom text adhesive tags.  The
former isn't very mnemonic for the user and the latter for typical
single-site quantities is pretty expensive.  What I'm really looking
for is a vendor who sells sheets of selfadhesive Apple logos, pictures
of terminals, etc.  An alternative would be a little adhesive menu that
a tech could check off when she activated a plug.
