In a recent column in OST James Gaskin suggests that system administrators
should be converting ethernets from coax to 10BaseT and *not* investing
anything more in coax.  I put two questions to the readers of this group:

1) Do you concur with Mr. Gaskin that coax is dead or dying?

2) What options are available for small (less than a dozen nodes) networks
currently running coax and wanting to move to 10BaseT?  For example, I
understand that 10BaseT topology has all nodes wired to hubs - are there hubs
available which are cost effective for small networks?

I look forward to your replies...

Frank.
