10Mb and half duplex! And with topology that can brake the whole
network in half with a single wiring fault? I'll take the re-wire. Or
better yet, just go wireless if the office is that small. Larry
mentioned something about $220/drop. I'm thinking ouch to that. It
shouldn't be anywhere near that unless the wall and ceilings are
horrible for running cable. But again, if this is so small, go wireless.
