| From: James Knott <[email protected]> | The problem with cable that old is it deteriorates with time. I haven't | seen coax Ethernet since the mid '90s, so that's pushing 20 years. Really? That's scary. What about coax built into a house? Does that mean you have to plan on replacing it every decade or two? I think that we have video coax (cable TV) that is 30-something. I'm not sure that it is 100% healthy, but it seems to work. I know that the technology is obsolete, but I didn't know that it deteriorated on that timescale. -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
