[CQ-Contest] 10BaseT vs 10Base2 ??

[Jim Rhodes]

I hav always used 10Base2 cabling for the network here at home in the 
belief that it would suffer/cause less RFI. I am now contemplating 
switching to a cable modem type of internet access and will have to have at 
least some 10BaseT in the house. What has been the experience of the group 
with 10BaseT networking. Have there been more problems with RFI with this 
type of cable or am I worried about nothing.

As it stands now I could just run a length of coax accross the house to the 
entry point of the system (25-30 ft) and leave the 10Base2 in place. Or I 
could run CAT5 cable over to the entry point from a hub in the shack and 
plug into the 10Base2 network there. Or I could just convert to 10BaseT for 
the all three computers. With the hub either in the shack or the utility 
room where the entry point will be. I think I would only have to replace 1 
card if I did that or none if I kept the 10Base2 setup.

As usual, I will summarize if there is interest. Thanks.
