Why do wires make a knot in the dark?

Did a small rewiring today by replacing a Netgear DS108 with a FS108. Which got me started about the whole network around vowe's magic flying circus. A lot of this is pretty old stuff but still working. A lot more wires than machines. :-)

Today you can get one device that replaces at least these: Wireless access point, switch, NAT router, DSL modem and print server. I would not need the analog switch board anymore. And finally: With 54 mbit wireless I could probably drop the rest of the wires.

Six phones for two people living in a flat?? I am obviously missing out on something here ;-)

John, these are the phones: two desks in the office, one in the living room, one in the kitchen, one in the bedroom, one wireless. I could actually use a seventh phone in a quiet place that seems to trigger phone calls. Now lets start to count the mobile phones. No, better not. :-)

Are you using Visio? I am looking for a nice network charter for Linux. Any ideas?

The only solution for Linux that I know of and which comes close to what Visio offers is Kivio. A demo version is available there, too.
