I imagine folks are aware that CAT5 has a minimum length requirement for
100Base-X stuff? should be around 2.5M from memory..
There is a *VERY* high likelyhood that I'm wrong, so correct me if so.
If I'm right, I've broken it anyway, I have a short (ok, bloody short)
cable between my 24port hub (it was rack-mountable, sue me), and my stallion
easy server. (16 port serial server). The cable in question is about 7-10cm
long.
