Thanks for the access info on the 10BASE-T spec, Pat.  Thanks also for
being such a responsive chairperson and doing such a great job keeping
us informed both about the status of the spec and about the technical
issues of the spec.  Your postings have made it easier for me to deal
with the rapid evolution of the Ethernet market toward 10BASE-T.

While on the subject of standards, do you know if there are any
standards efforts underway for Ethernet hubs?  

It appears that the advent of the 10BASE-T technology has unleashed a
huge hub market, and there seem to be as many ways to build,
configure, and manage a hub as there are vendors selling them.  Do you
think there's any hope for some formal hub specs?

Thanks,
	-ces
