[TRLog] Multi-Multi length

[Thomas M. Schaefer]

In preparations for FD, I was testing my phone jack multi-multi hub the
other day. I connected just two systems (although I can go up to six). I
connected one with about 100 feet of CAT 5 cable.

Regarding distance limitations, my guess is that in RS-232 (forget about the
50 foot thing), the only limitation is between two computers. In other
words, forgetting about the "50" foot limit, if I can put 100 feet between
two computers, to me, depending upon the serial ports, I should be able to
do that for all the computers. Unlike single-ended SCSI, where the entire
length of the chain is figured in the distance, in a multi-multi setup,  it
should be just the distance between two connected computers. Any thoughts on
the matter?

Thanks,

Tom NY4I
