    Except instead of aspirin I would go with something like Percocet or Demoral (SP) and alcohol for drinks icon_cheers.gif

    A good Fluke network tool such as their Linkrunner Pro will save you many, many headaches. Makes it very easy to test cabling, find where they go, show VLANS, switch ports, ect.
