HP also makes a multiport repeater.  We've ben successfully manufacturing
it and shipping it since last fall.  The HP 28645A ThinLAN Hub.

It has one transcriver interface and four Cheapernet taps, so it exactly
matches your needs.  The Cheapernet taps are true taps (without terminators)
and can go in the middle of a cable.  Also, HP claims it has half the
delay of a normal repeater.

We use lots of these internally and really like them.

Sorry to be so commercial here, but I think we've got a better product,
and it is *never* mentioned.
