I'm looking for a crossover cable about 25 feet or 7.5 meters. I would
assume that a place like Nortel should have some of those lying around, if
not someone can easily make it for me. Please name your price. I would
prefer to have it ASAP. Thanks.

Buy a 3ft xover cable and a CAT5 male-male adapter and use it to
extend a standard patch cable.

Make it red. Make sure it's labeled "crossover". The factory-made
cables I've all have been labeled.

Put a long xover cable into operation and one of these days it will
drive you nuts when you forget.

You can also just buy a 25-foot Crossover cable from NetCablesPlus:

They have good quality cables, in my experience.

This bothers me. Check out carefully this post (hint: ignore the content):

If you Google the newsgroups for www.netcablesplus.com you can find more
examples of what appears to be John recommending them speaking as a
third party. What's the real deal?
