- Considering that the specified limit for a thin segement is 185 meters,
- I doubt that any of us want to. We've got a total of about 4,000 feet of
- thin coax bridged via NetWare servers and dedicated bridges (PCBridge),
- and I've strained mightily to keep each segement under the limit. Oddly
- enough, my network is quite reliable. How's yours?

- (Oh, BTW; I've heard of a thin LAN that had over 1.2KM of cable, but for
- *some* reason, performance wasn't real good....)
