following up a message from Wayne Chirnside to Jim Holsonback:

I'm real surprised that nobody has made an adapter for the purpose,  so
that you could use standard cables.  Maybe something about the size of
those gizmos used to couple two cables together,  ferinstance.

I haven't seen anything yet that would justify to me the upgrading of my
network here to that speed.  Unless it got a *lot* bigger than I ever
expect it to.  Streaming video,  maybe???  :-)

Right now I have a 16-port hub,  and that's likely to be plenty for me for
some time yet.
