-> In network terminology, Thin Ethernet is named "10Base-2" because it
-> works at 10 Mbps over baseband and can go about 200 meters.  The rule
-> of thumb is to be conservative and therefore most manufacturers rate
-> their equipment for 185 meters.  You must, of course, use good
-> quality, low-loss coax for long runs.
Mike, I seem to recall the 10Base-2 standard actually calls for 185 meters, 
but is called 10Base-2 because no one will want to refer to 10Base-1.85.
