They are concerned about broadcast packets (mentioned in another post).  I'm
not sure that this would work if the wire is shared.  I was thinking of a
direct connection between the two machines in the same office.  

I apologize for not being a network-aware person (strictly home-grown) so my
understanding of some suggestions is limited.  Suffice it to say that support
at work is going to be VERY limited, too.
