I'm beginning to wonder if it's time I upgraded my home network. The
NICs on most of the machines are 100BaseT, with the odd old machine
sporting a 10BaseT. But it's the hubs I wonder about--two old
National Semi 6-port Datamover 10BaseT units coupled together with a
10Base2 (coax) link. It's that coax that I dread replacing--it goes
between floors and snaking it through the walls was a real chore.
My DSL speed is 1.6Mbps, so I'm thinking that there's little reason
to upgrade the setup. Am I thinking correctly or am I likely to see
an improvement in internet access speed if I upgrade?
Cheers,
Chuck
