I bought two Inter Etherexpress PRO 100 for getting started with
Fast Ethernet. 
I want to connect two machines via some kind of 'null-modem'
cable (which I'd have to crimp first). From my understanding
the pinning would be (looking into the connector outlet at the
rear of the card:
       ,______,
     ,_|      |_,
 ____|          |____
|                    |
|                    |
|  8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1   |
|  | | | | | | | |   |

Could someone confirm that using the following cabling is correct:
(BELDEN 1868 FTP FLEX)
Rx + <--------> Tx -
Rx - <--------> Tx +
Tx + <--------> Rx -
Tx - <--------> Rx +
(Or would + go to + ?)
