If you look at the ethernet shape while selected, you will see yellow
diamonds (control handles) that will let you move end points of the lines.
You will also notice two more diamonds on the enter line of the shape at the
1/3 and 2/3 point. You can drag these control handles to the top or bottom
to add more lines. Actually, there are more than two control handles on the
center line. It is just that they are stacked. In Visio 2007, there are 64
control handles.
In the old days there was about ten control handles and the "trick" to get
more was to drop a second shape on top of the first. Visually it looked
correct, but any program interrogating the diagram would see two ethernet
shapes. So depending on your use, the trick may have been useful. As with
all Visio shape, it is possible to add extra lines to the shape, but it does
take time.
