The local solution: The Sun, and most ethernet cables, have a couple of small washers between the stud and the body of the connector. This makes the top of the studs stick out further (about 1 or 2 mm), and it restricts how closely the connectors can be coupled. Removing all the washers (typically two each per side for the cable and the port, or eight total) allows the cables to be mated very tightly. It also leaves the slide clip in place (but difficult to move; you'll need a screwdriver or the like to move it if you do it properly; this is a feature rather than a bug) to provide some extra protection. ames >>>>>>>>> | Robert Krawitz <rlk@think.com> 245 First St. bloom-beacon > |think!rlk (postmaster) Cambridge, MA 02142 harvard >>>>>> .
