Just to add a side note to thinnet vs. 10BaseT argument.
I have a computer zoo in my residence. The connectivity between the zoo
critters is thinnet, for two reasons:
1) I'm too cheap to buy a hub
2) one of the critters is a sweet old dinosaur who, when she gets the right
connecting cable and a bit of programming, will think she is talking
thicknet (albeit coerced to thinnet).
In spite of the limited scope of my thinnet, I have spent entirely too much
time debugging it.
If I were to do it again, I'd probably make it 10BaseT and figure some way to
coerce the dinosaur to play the 10BaseT game.
