I work at a large international development charity in London, as International Operations Manager. I manage a team of Regional ICT Service Managers, based in developing world countries, who keep our users happy through fixing problems, setting up great connectivity and generally making sure users can do their day jobs.

I previously worked at the same place as International Network Systems Analyst. I looked after a bunch of ICT systems in offices in the developing world, as well as looking after systems in our HQ. I gained a lot of knowledge in that job, and the techy side competes with the people stuff in the new role, hence I still hang out here a lot.

I'm passionate about the use of ICT in developing countries, both in terms of dealing with the inherent problems for ICT in those places, and using ICT as a tool for development.

ossmann.com/5-in-1.html talks about an adapter you can make that converts between various different configurations using CAT5 cable cores. This might give some hints at what the original owner was doing, or show you how to make your own adapters that match your wiring. But I'd suggest you convert your sockets to go standard. Unless you know the previous resident was a network engineer, who knows what other hairbrained stuff may be going on with you cabling.
