Does it *really* take an engineer something like 15 minutes to terminate
an optical cable, (I understand it's quite a slow process, sticking the
end in some sort of resin then smoothing it off with many? different
grades of some sort of abrasive (apparently theres no quick solution))?

Not really related to subject, but, I understand that on an ethernet
network if utilization goes above 25% this is regarded as 'a bad thing'
(whatever that means) my 3com hub has peaked at 80% whilst installing a
sp over the network on 2machines, just using netbeui BTW. Would this be
a matter of concern on a real network?
