So it works as a multiple port repeater? An input is sent to every other line 
and collisions are just as possible as with 10Base2? How far can such a 
network be? How long a single cable and how long can a chain of repeaters be? 
How many ports do such concentrators have? 8? How much do they cost and how 
much the cables?
