Figure 1-11

There is an apparent mismatch between Pages 20 and 21.

Page 20 contains an extensive discussion of the wiring shown in Figure 1-11 on Page
21. The second step of the discussion specifies a numbering scheme for each pin of
the Ethernet jacks shown in the figure. The discussion describes pin numbering for
each jack of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Figure 1-11, however, shows pin numbering
of 2, 1, 3, 5, 4, 6, 8, and 7 for each jack.

The wiring shown in the figure does match the text, based on physical position, if
you mentally substitute the pin numbers.

second paragraph under Solution

unixsock
should read:
alert_unixsock

and should be constant-width like "resp" in the previous paragraph.

sample report

The report looks like it's supposed to be padded in order to be fully-justified, but
the right column of # characters is ragged, as though the whitespace characters
weren't constant-width. Perhaps there's a mix of tabs, and tabs on the source system
weren't the same size as tabs on the typesetting system?
