What we do here is replace the posts that the clips slip onto with
screw-on posts.  We then use mating connectors on our tranceiver
cables that screw on much the way a normal RS232 connector screws on.
This has solved all our problems with the clips.

Replacing the posts takes only seconds.  I do not know where the elves
in charge of our Ethernet get the cable connectors and conversion
kits, but they obvious buy them from some enterprising connector
supplier.

If you can't find this hardware, mail me a request, and I'll ask our
elves.  If I get a lot of requests, I'll post the source to the net.
