An interesting note to the length and type of thin Ethernet cable
discussion.  In all my Novell Netware manuals, the supplement for 3Com
Ethernet cards states that the maximum segment length for thin
Ethernet is 1000 feet.  Two repeaters may be used to extend to 3000
feet.  A thick Ethernet segment may go to 3200 feet.

185M is much less than 1000 feet, what gives??
