    It's a simple SC-SC cable.  You plug the receiver of Port A to the
    transmitter of Port B and the receiver of Port B to the transmitter of
    Port A.

    	Watch out if you do this on NT however as my whole server balked
    at starting, when it thought there was another node with with the
    same server name.:-).

    PS - This was somewhat permanent as I took off the loopback on the FDDI
    and tried to just use the Ethernet but as long as the DEFPA-DA driver
    was installed the NT SERVER refused to start. Had to remove all
    Network drivers and re-add them again????
