[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by robengland Randy, isn't there a distinction between phone cables (eg Walmart) and Digitrax cables? The phones cross-over the leads and Digitrax don't [/quote] It all depends on how you connect the plugs. True, you can't (or shouldn't) just use a regular 6-pin phone cable as-is, but if you buy some 6-pin ends and a crimper (about $25 or so at Radio Shack), you can cut the cable and put your own plug on one end in such a way that it 'reverses' the cross-over. The Digitrax website and most of their system manuals have a section on making your own cable that tells you how to do this.
