What of the following is fact or fiction ?;

- 'Smart' 10 Mbit hubs exist. 
('Smart' being the ability to direct a packet straight to the right
port, instead of running around each cable of the star creating
overhead)

- Like 'Full duplex' 10 Mbit NIC's,  'Full duplex' 10 Mbit hubs exist.
(Theoretically creating a 20 Mbit bandwith)

- >5 port, 1 coax, 'smart' and 'full duplex' 10 Mbit hubs are sold at
a reasonable price in The Netherlands by people who know what they are
talking about. 
(If this is fact, where ? He cried out loud)
