hallo! i've heard that when you've got a 10 MBit network, than it's faster to use a twisted pair connection than a coaxial one. because the twisted pair is bidirektional you can transfer 10mbit in both directions at the same time. is this correct? please answer me! (also per email please) thanx in advance, baba, burt ---- <- burt is sitting in vienna -> e-mail: entnerr@gmx.net http://fly.to/burt

It's sorta true. What you're talking about is called full-duplex ethernet. Many 10Mb cards don't support it, although almost all 10/100Mb cards do. To do it, you'll also need to connect all your machines to an ethernet switch capable of full duplex (most are). Using a regular hub forces everything to run at regular half-duplex. The cost of the switch usually makes this arrangement unreasonable. I'd recommend twisted pair, but not for reliability and flexibility reasons, not for performance.
