We use 3Com's PairTaimers here at Claris to run one twisted pair line from
their MultiConnect repeaters in a phone closet to clumps of Herman Miller
cubes where from three to twelve Macs are connected to the coax. It seems
to work fine here except for one set of cubes whoses twisted pair wiring
seems to be incompatible for some reason. I believe we are using about 40
such pairs currently and the last time I checked the longest run of twisted
pair was 220 feet.
