	A few messages back a person exclaimed disappointment at the
reliability of popular Ethernet boards (such as WD8003E) handling long drop
lines (60-125' were mentioned). I think it's safe to say that the longest
line coming off the PC side of the Tee connector should be precisely zero
feet. It's not the boards, it's physics and violation of the operating
principles thereof.
