7960G  - pretty obscure huh?

Pay attention Fadge:  There are many types of POE and at least two 
types that use 48v and are somewhat 802.3af compliant.  Older POE 
like Cisco take their power over the unused pairs of an ethernet cable.

Most of the latest generation POE switches including the Linksys 
SRW224P provide their power on the data pairs, not the unused 
pairs.  So if both the data and the power are on the same pairs, how 
do you make a cable adapter to work with the 7960G?
