Hello Will,
WH> RD>> Maximum length is about 85 meters.
WH> HR> WRONG again, spec is 100m per segment.
WH>Actually, this depends on type of cable...
Well... NO,
While in the real world, you wouldn't try to run it on cheapie "silver
satin" phone cord...The IEEE specification for 10BaseT defines a maximum
segment length of 100 meters irrespective of cable type.  Now, elsewhere
in the spec you can find what cable types are acceptable for 10BaseT,
but the maximum (or .6m minimum for that matter) segment length does not
change.  And in TODAYS real world, CAT5 is cheap enough to be considered
THE standard.
