 correct!
patch cables will work as long as you have the raq and the PC connected to a    
hub or switch. To directly connect two computers, you need the crossover 
cable!

just the same as if you conect two computers together uisng comm ports
you need null-modem cable.
Say you want to connect your PC to a RaQ serival port, use a null-modem    
cable
