I had some trouble in the beginning until I realized the terminators I bought from CompUSA were flaky. After replacing them with better quality terminators, no more problems. I get 1,000 kbps throughput between two machines when no other traffic is on the wire, using SMC Ultra cards. I even have some SMC coax hubs. I had never heard of coax hubs until I found them on auction at Onsale. They were dirt cheap so I plan to use them with coax as my network grows. -- The day of the proprietary OS is over.
