We always recommended against cross over cables.
Watch your link statistics and if you see problems, be prepared to install a
switch between those 2 system's.

James,
I have heard this recommendation several times, but I have never heard a reason why.
I have installed cross over cables in specific situations, usually when shadowing with netbase to an HP3000 or SQL data warehouse.
I have yet have any issues, (issues defined as problems seen in LINKCONTROL @,a).
Why is it that HP recommends putting a switch in the middle?
