Negative! :-) > Depends on the site your reading I guess. :) In fact, no. Of course, there's many different descriptions, and everyone can use its own variant, but from standard/whitepaper's point of view, there's only one correct meaning. In case you're interested, visit IEEE site; at http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/portfolio.html page you can find a plenty of official Ethernet documents, and for example, "IEEE 802®: Overview & Architecture" PDF contains an 'Abbreviation' section (page 6), where it states: === MAC - medium access control, media access control (Both forms are used, with the same meaning. This standard uses "medium."). === Cheers, Artur -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
