Solder? ;)

If you have patience, you can also crimp the cross-connection directly
into the jack. I put a couple pics up that show how it can be done
(since I'm never getting around to making that mpeg I promised beginning
of the year...). Just strip the end of the cables for pin 3 and 6 so
that you have about half an inch of blank copper. That allows you to
squeeze two solid copper cores into one pin (doesn't work with stranded
cable of course :)
