A previous poster was mentioning a "fly-run" from a thin Ethernet T-connector
to the machine.  Are there any gurus who can comment on the legitimacy of
attempting this?

I'd gotten the impression that you were forced to attach the T directly to the
workstation and that any extra length between the T and the machine would
seriously degrade performance (by throwing off collision detection).
