Thanks for the information.

I was in need of a crossover cable for my home network. Now that I've got this cable thing down, all I need to do is try and talk the manager into letting me go drill crazy on my apartment. It would be better still to go drill happy on the whole complex and set up a community network, but I don't think they'll let me do that...

A friend of mine set up a building wide network in his apartment building in Seattle (drilling and all). Then he purchased a connection and became the I.S.P. for his building. Funny thing was, even though he was turning a profit, his customers - er neighbors - were getting sweet bandwidth at really cheap prices.
