I've seen them, even in a local shop. The cables normally have the wiring
diagram on the packaging, so you can see the difference. I needed the
crossover type to connect a hub to my router.

Which reminds me: I thought I could connect from the router (NTT's MM-128;
I'd filled all three sockets) to the uplink socket on the hub, but it
didn't work (with either kind of cable), so I just used socket 1. Should it
have worked or is uplink there for some other purpose?
