look up the IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) specs.
or Page 281-285 Tanenbaum - 3rd ed.
Quoting Verbatim from the TEXT
"As Network Speed goes up, the minimum frame length goes up or the cable
length must come down ,proportionately'

PS. Not long back ( 1 week back) We were discussing a rack mounted system
of boards with processors where we could use multiple processors with
boards connected by network cards connected together with very short
distance limits on the cable. A number of things , of course , would have to
be redesigned - But it would work!
How about getting on the telephone with this one- No point in continuing
this on the list!( Goes into Network theory - NOT LINUX)
