Randall-

Yes, along with active hubs, switches and routers will also act as a 
repeater by regenerating the signal, and it only sends data to its correct 
destination.  (This minimizes collisions.)


Some hubs will amplify the signal and send it out to ALL ports... not good 
:]

An active hub is a multiport repeater.  You can usually tell an active hub
from a passive hub by whether or not it uses its own power supply.

I don't think they do since most people wouldn't have a home large
enough to warrant pushing the signal past its limits 100M or 380 Feet.

What about a home switch like netgear or linksys.

It depends on what kind it is.  Intelligent hubs or repeaters will
retransmit a signal, but the cheap home network hubs don't.
