Does anybody know the realistic speed limit of data transfer that can reliably be sent over RG-58 (or even the 75-ohm RG-59). I think thin Ethernet uses the RG-58. Is Ethernet close to the limits of this type of cable or if a different standard was adopted, could the performance upscaled a magnitude or two? [Personally I think LANS should be able to go lot faster than then the 10 megabit/sec. standard Ethernet---Anybody actually know? I'm basing this guess on the fact that I'm able to receive 40 channles of real time videa over RG-59(just like RG-58 only different impedence) via local cable. If each station requires about 6MHz of bandwidth alone, than ethernet should be no where near the limits of the RG-58 cable. Am I messed up or on the right track? Please comment, easy on the flames..... Dean Wallwey
