Just send a student to insert a cable into a socket and put it into a hole? are you kidding?
I think this has gone on long enough.
First off, I have many years experience in both telecommunications and computer networks, both as a technician and in planning, so I do know what I'm talking about.
About what? You think a student cannot just plug in the cable into a hub?
Well, elsewhere in the world, the internal wiring is not done with patch cables, but with Cat5/6 cable. In the central, these are then connected to a patch panel; in the individual apartments or offices, to the RJ45 socket in a little plastic box on the wall. Often a dual socket, one for ethernet, one for telephone. Working such an installation from the ground up is not a job for a student, but for engineers and electricians. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.5°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
