Could someone out there explain to me why a signal can physically travel further on a metal media at a slower baud rate ? I see this often when looking at specifications for line drivers, etc. And usually the slower the baud rate is, the further the distance can be. Someone says it has something to do with the waves and frequency of the signal. Another person suggested that the more powerful the signal, the attenuation it will have. I didn't quite understand until he compared it to how FM radio stations usually have more power but the signal doesn't travel as far to AM stations that may be heard by half the country. Yet, I have not got a definate answer from anyone. -- Rich Banks ah335@thor.ins.cwru.edu richb@railnet.uucp
