Clem,
Mark Benson has already volunteered to make the cables at cost - I just need to know if the console cables are wired straight across or crossover?

I would suspect you should be able to find them in Europe as LEGO uses the MMJ connector for Mindstorms (which is a pain in the neck). Amazon carries the tool and plugs, so it's easy to make them. The tool is $40-60 US and the plugs cost under a dollar (and I have seen them as low as 4 for a dollar). What is hard to find is the female connector, I have not find a reliable source, so I find myself making custom MMJ to RJ11 cables for the kids when they want to make a custom interface to connect to their robots.

I could really use two of these, I know they're like gold dust to find, but am happy to pay a reasonable price for them.
Ideally within the EU as I'm in Finland at the moment...

But yeah, let's take this off-list - anyone interested in picking up this gear please email me at sampsa at mac.com, I'll put you in touch with the chap who owns it.

I've got all the kit to make MMJ cables, just e-mail me off-list with the spec (straight or cross-over, length etc) and I'll make them up.

It might help you to know that farnell still has some MMJ connectors in stock at a reasonable price.

I did not reply to the list in order to keep OT down :)
All the best,

And you gave me about 2.7% of your hardware, too.

Hello everyone!
It's one of those weird nights where i'm playing with my NT 4 domain again and a question occurred to me: can I do anything with DECnet and NT 4.0?
What software would I need and where would I get it? ;)
Google seems to mention Pathworks, but I can't find /too/ much information on it.
I have DECnet on my Windows XP machine. (WXP::). Yes, you need a product called Pathworks for this.
As for anything to do. Well, that depends what you mean. Yes, you can transfer files to and from other DECnet nodes (very pretty with a graphical interface). You can connect to other machines, and so on. Pretty much the same capabilities as with any other DECnet node.
