Disclaimer: this just became an issue here, so if this question has been
answered already, my apologies.

Is it possible (and/or practical) to have more than one device (workstation,
PC, etc.) per port using 10BaseT?  We have a number of developers with two
and sometimes three systems connected to the thinnet in their offices.  We
are considering relocation and 10BaseT has some desirable qualities, plus
lower cost than thinnet.  However, if we can't have multiple devices per
10BaseT port, it won't likely be practical for us.  Providing multiple ports
per office isn't likely to be accepted.

Thanks.
