Zero collision domain only exists if you only have 1 device and 1 device does not make much of a network ;). 2 devices trying to talk on a line will have collisions if the expected timing is not meet which is why you have a length limit. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79140 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
