Paul,

Thanks for the chart on cat 5 cable losses. I've used this stuff many times 
in the past for home computer networking and even worked for a while for one 
of the local schools insalling a network but confess I know next to nothing 
about the theory of how it works as a transmission line - and it sure 
appears to be designed contrary to my undestanding of how a transmission 
line should work. It must work pretty darn well because local networking 
hardware doesn't support coax any more. The "experts" I talked to, back 
then, didn't have a clue of how it works. Do you know of any web sites that 
cover these details?

Thanks.

Bill
