When I had the need to wire a building around 1987, I opted for the multiport 10Base5 repeaters that DEC made -- they were called DELUAs, I think. I'd had quite enough of distributed single points of failure, thank you.
Think those were something else; DEMPR = Digital Ethernet Multi Port Repeater DELNI = Digital Ethernet Local Network Interconnect ("hub") Threw some away a few years ago.
Hey, I had that in my house on my 100BaseT network, till I upgraded to gigE and had to give in and buy another switch. (Sigh -- home network configurations of NANOGers. I'm contemplating putting in VLANs now...)
VLAN's == fun ... JG -- Joe Greco - sol.net Network Services - Milwaukee, WI - http://www.sol.net "We call it the 'one bite at the apple' rule.
