We would like to add more machines to our ethernet (at MIT,
not Harvard) and would (of course) like to minimize cost.
Buying ethernet cables seems very expensive for what is
essential just a piece of wire, so we were wondering about
making our own.  Can anyone suggest if this is an okay idea
or give reasons (or experiences) why it won't work?  For
those who say it's okay, can they suggest suppliers for the
pieces?  For those who say no, can they suggest other ways
to save money, given that we've already installed a
regular ethernet cable?  We're planning to use a DELNI;
perhaps people can give their impressions of them too.

If you can, please mail also to kevin@xv.mit.edu, since I
read that account much more often.
