I've got a big drum of coax of undefined type here. I wondered if there was a equation to calculate characteristic impedance for coax like there is for twin feeder? The reason is, I'd like to use it for 10Base2 ethernet (low budget, got coax free). Is impedance on ethernet very critical? It seems pretty high quality stuff - could be cable TV coax, but I'm not sure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- William Hargrave 2:254/211.20 9/7/1997 --- * Origin: Wherever.

Yup, winsock programming is easy so I may be better off chucking DOS based software and moving over to win95.
