[AusNOG] Pokethernet cable tester

[James Hodgkinson]

You'd get about 25% of the final product. Unless they've specifically got
the circuitry in them, most adaptors (especially the cheapish USB ones)
can't:

- sense length of cable
- let alone where it's broken
- specific signal/cross wire issues
- do tone generation for cable finding

That's just the stuff off the top of my head... glad to be proven wrong
though :)
