You can crimp them with a simple pair of -> tweezers (waterpomptang for the dutch-speeking among us). thanks for the info (all of you!). i think i will have alook in the primafoon shop as i don't think i will make much cables in the future (i just buy cables in a shop wich crimps them and makes them at the length you want while you're waiting). i needed to get the cable one floor up because i got an old compaq systempro server; wich i wanted to use as a router/masq linux box but the thing is it makes an awfull lot of noise (huge fan) that i wanted to get the thing out of my computing room. bye!
