Re: 100 Base T

Oh, this guy is retentive...he creates this massive "bible" of EVERYTHING
done to the house, so documentation is not a problem. Besides, he's doing
all the scut work himself, I'm just handholding and will hang and install
alarm later. He's doing the network himself.

How about electricians that install a swb and then proceed to LOOP all the
Cat 5 and then really think they're clever and bring the end back to the
swb? What a waste.

Yah,,, when they create their own color codes is always an ordeal later!
