[ILUG] Networking over kill on Tec

[John Reilly]

Actually, what I wanted the splitter for isn't ethernet - I want the 
center four contacts of the cat5 to be active on each split off 
connector for two phone lines - I was thinking that somewhere selling 
the ethernet version might possibly have something like I wanted also.

There is one possible reason to use a splitter over a hub for ethernet - 
getting full duplex instead of half.
