it shows how to make a crossover and a standard straight through.

For ethernet/10BaseT:

On one end you use 1,2,3, and 6. (colors don't matter if you aren't trying to be perfect or follow wiring standards)

On the other end, use 3 and 6 in the first and second position, so that you have 3,6,1,2 in place of 1,2,3,6.

For a T1 it's 1,2,4, and 5 with 4,5,1, and 2 on the other end.

besides teh many many times Ive seen the cabling questions asked and answered and seen the Tuts some people took the time to make, www.google.com cat5 crossover cable.
you really should look at a search engine/old threads before posting a new thread.

Here is my utp tutorial. About half way through you should find some links to help you build your own cables.
