	Hi...

	We're re-doing our building ethernets, and the issue has come up
of what the best thing is to do to a yellow cable after a tapped transceiver
is removed.  The choices seem to be:

	- leave the tap in, and terminate it

	- replace the tap with something else (what?)

	- remove the tap and "fix" the cable (how?)

	Lets see if there is a consensus on this one (we all hate those
short slide connectors, right?)...
