If you're looking for a Ethernet CAT5 read-only cable, use the following
diagram to build one. This was posted by Frank Knobbe some time ago to the
list.

LAN Sniffer
1 -----\ /-- 1
2 ---\ | \-- 2
3 ---+-*------- 3
4 - | - 4
5 - | - 5
6 ---*--------- 6
7 - - 7
8 - - 8

If there is a problem with spaces, the diagram below uses dots
instead of spaces.

LAN.......Sniffer
1.-----\..../--.1
2.---\.|....\--.2
3.---+-*-------.3
4.-..|........-.4
5.-..|........-.5
6.---*---------.6
7.-...........-.7
8.-...........-.8

Nope. 3 & 6 go from one side to 3 & 6 on the other. Then
_on_one_side_only_ you connect 1 to 3 and 2 to 6. This will be the
LAN side. On the sniffer side you connect 1 directly to 2.

Again, make sure you connect the LAN side into a hub, not a switch.
