Are you sure that message isn't your local number?  If you mean my recent
posting with the diagram, the message ID is <1990Jan20.125629.9392@druid.uucp>.
In any case here is the diagram from that posting:


    1 --- 1
    2 --- 3
    3 --- 2
    4 --- 5
    5 --- 4
    6 --- 20
   20 --- 6
    7 --- 7

In some cases you may have to tie 6 & 8 on the same end together as well.
