I understand that, kind of like a null modem cable.  But for whichever cable 
I decide to use, what else would I need besides the cards, and crossover

I don't suppose someone could use BOTH cables for double thoroughput could

What are the model numbers of 3Com brand Coax crossover cables and RJ-45 
crossover cables?  Does 3Com sell high quality regular cabling of each too?

I believe I'm going with 3Com.  I've had great experience with USRobotics and 
hopefully they'll follow through.
See my other message here for more questions. :)
