@ricciRob Ricci @whitequark✧✦Catherine✦✧ @geofflgroff man, I got you all beat.

You are faced with a PC that has two cards with 4 RJ45 ports on them. Surely that's quad ethernet, right?

NOPE!
2 ports of 100baseT with bypass.
And 8 ports of RS232 running at 15V!

Extremely expensive hilarity ensues.
