: I think a team ran this tent.
: Their sponsor maybe was a ISP/Telecommunications company?
: : There was a tent outside the pits at epcot with internet access.
: : They would not let laptop users plug in, however.
: : You had to use their machines.
: : ( that was THE place to go if you were overheating. nice and cool in there

)
: : : I know it's still early but does anyone know whether or not there will be any 10 baseT connections in the pits at Epcot this year?
: : : Thanks
cat5 is cool... the "recommended" lengths are bull.
go 500meters and they still work fine with barely any data loss....but only with 100baseT. 10baseT stinks but might work with 100meters anyway.
as for repeaters, if FIRST contracts this stuff through a company, then that company will do it for free and have all the stuff in the world... i think it can be done...
