This was certainly true of the older machines, but the newer Macs (some G3s
and all G4s) have an auto-sensing ethernet port that can accommodate either
a straight-through or a cross-over ethernet cable. I've sync'd from my G4
TiBook to new and old machines over a standard straight-through ethernet
cable many times. No hub required.
