We want to connect a few segments of (thin) ethernet.  Will the following
arrangement work?  Does it make sense?

[T]
 |
 +-[B]-[S1]-[T]
 |
 +-[B]-[S2]-[T]
 |
 +-[B]-[S2]-[T]
 |
[T]

([T] == terminator, [B] == bridge, [Sn] == segment n, + == BNC T plug)

The three ethernet segments already exist.  The ethernet backbone, and
the three bridges are what we think we want to add.  Please reply by
email to conserve net bandwidth.
