You can make/get passive fiber hubs that act like old thinnet. They aren't common, and I don't recall if any GigE ones exist. You can actually make these if you have a fusion splicer with enough manual controllability. So, yes, you can have a true CSMA/CD fiber hub, where the hub is a totally passive fiber device. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
