Here is one interesting looking Ethernet tap project:

Throwing Star LAN Tap
http://ossmann.blogspot.com/2011/02/throwing-star-lan-tap.html

The basic implementation is similar as my drawing but implemented with circuit board.

The trick is that ach of those extra pairs not needed for 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet are bypassed with a 220 pF capacitor. his filters out the high frequency signals of 1000BASE-T, forcing the target devices to revert to 100BASE-TX which can then be monitored. The capacitors don’t adversely affect lower frequency RS-232 signals, so all eight conductors function when monitoring serial connections. Sure, it’s an ugly hack, but it’s an ugly hack that fits in your pocket.
