Re: Max Devices on ethernet adapters

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm talking just a run of the mill 200-300 page report during
peak periods to a remote location.(That's pretty typical)

or

Let's say an accounting department that has a 1100lpm in
their department and that hammer it "all day long" on a
local LAN. (I know what happens on twinax)

I bring these question to the table cause I don't ever see
them mentioned and many medium sized shops are not set up
to "balance/play with/screw around" with ethernet and all
it's associated problems.

What are most folks in a mythical shop running 50 pc's
doing for "network control" ???? What is a typical lan
these days ???

Has everybody thrown in the towel on twinax since it's
soooo "outdated" ???(I have not)

Yes... I have seen the 8,000 page report sent to a remote
location and poooooooof...
