Hi Michael

If all hubs are connected to a thin ethernet backbone, then the
transmission path between any 2 dte's will only contain 3 segments.
3com officeconnect hub instructions says you can connect 30 hubs on
the single segment thin e'net backbone. DLink mini hub instructions
say exactly the same. So, I guess it's ok? I've not tried. :)
