[CQ-Contest] Network cables

[Bob Naumann - N5NJ]

There is no advantage one way or the other (twisted pair/coax) aside from
the fact that if you use twisted pair and a hub, if one of your computers
goes out it does not impact the others as it would with coax which is a
"daisy-chain" configuration.

Regarding 100 vs. 10mb - the 10 mb is more economical and is certainly more
than enough for a home lan environment.
