Anyway, this is how a real pro (yep, that's me!) would do it: you get your Cat-5 ready and then, get into the ceiling! Brilliant eh? Tends to work the best on old vullahs, where you can crawl around, breathing in the remnants of some extremely hirsute sheep (or glass wool), and drop the cable through the ventilation shafts or the holes for the chandeliers-wotsits. Honest, it looks really neat and tidy -- much nicer than sticky tape all over the place. Watch out you don't put a foot wrong though, and step through the ceiling. Lots of cable-laying novices perish every year that way.
however if you do happen to step through the ceiling the newly formed hole can be utilised for lots of other cables making it a prime point to put your switch or hub or server rack ! -- Steve Systems Admin, Asia Online (NZ) --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
