If you have a new building then you don't have an asbestos problem, which would be one thing forcing you to existing wire and 10BASE-T. If you have a truly free choice, then the advantage of 10BASE-T is that each machine is isolated from the network by a repeater, and the disadvantage is that its harder to wheel another machine into an office and plug it in. We use some of each; thin Ethernet in places with lots of machines in one room, and 10BASE-T where asbestos forces us to or where we're sure that one machine per office is enough. -- Walt Haas haas@ski.utah.edu
