I just purchased a new Dell PentiumII 450MHz, and I want to Network it
with my existing Dell Pentium 200MMX. One running Win95, the other Win98.
I plan to use either Intel PRO/100+ PCI Adapters or 3Com EtherLink XL PCI
TPO NICs with a RJ-45 cross over cable. My question is this. Is there a
limit to the length of the cable? (I need 35ft Minimum), and can you do
this setup without a hub, or would I be better off getting a hub?
