Nope, I'm 99% sure the RJ45 cable is not a regular CAT4/CAT5 style ethernet
connector, since I have some of the same Asante adapter dongles with RJ45
jacks on the end of them (IE the AUI->RJ45 connector fits into a box, that
has another RJ45 jack on it that's the ethernet interface.)

Man I hated thinnet :)
