- In a recent column in OST James Gaskin suggests that system administrators
- should be converting ethernets from coax to 10BaseT and *not* investing
- anything more in coax. I put two questions to the readers of this group:
-
- 1) Do you concur with Mr. Gaskin that coax is dead or dying?
-
- 2) What options are available for small (less than a dozen nodes) networks
- currently running coax and wanting to move to 10BaseT? For example, I
- understand that 10BaseT topology has all nodes wired to hubs - are there hubs
- available which are cost effective for small networks?
-
- I look forward to your replies...
-
- Frank.
