We're in the process of planning/installing an Ethernet in our department
 and the distances involved are such that the whole department could be
 wired up with Thin-wire Ethernet.
Does anyone have experience of this sort of configuration with Thin-wire
 Ethernet taking the whole network load?
I'd be interested in comments on performance and noise pick-up of Thin-wire
 vs. Coax : also pitfalls to avoid,etc.
Any other general comments on reliability/performance of Ethernet/terminal
 servers/BI Ethernet interface/DELUA,etc would also be welcome.

Thanks,
 John
