I don't have the picture of this, but if you have TWO open ports you can
build a one-way ethernet cable.
Crimp your own, normal on one side, on the other side minus the transmit
pair. Then take another cable, normal, also minus the transmit pair.
recievers of the second, into the transmit of the first and it will think
you have one valid link.
I know that made no sense, but basically, pipe what the hub sends you, back
into the hub as the transmit of the recieve only wire, then it will think
you have a valid connection. Get it?

Just wondering: In case I use some more advanced technology like
10/100BASE-T
and RJ45 and cut the transmit path: Will the other side (hub/switch) still
send packets in my direction? I think there is no link pulse anymore and
thus no packets are sent in my direction.

I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know
what proactive means.
