For some time now there are several companies that offer
so-called Ethernet Line Extenders: a pair of boxes that
extend the length of a transceiver cable from the standard
15 meters to up to 250 meters; the boxes communicate with
each other over 4-wire cable.

I was just wondering: does anyone have experiences with these
devices? Is there anything to be said against them, like a
possible violation of some standard? Any information will
be appreciated, be it positive or negative ...
