Intel, DEC and TCL all sell boxes to replace up to 8 tranceivers by a single
tranceiver (or none if very local).  The main problem with these boxes is
they cost very nearly as much per line as tranceivers (especially if you
don't use all 8 ports).  I see their main value as fixing lack of planning
in providing cable space to tap enough tranceivers in one room, or to get
around the hundred stations per cable segment limit.
