James,
	oh yes, they sure do. some don't pass dhcp, some do but the time
lag is too much (remember: "repeat"). sometimes you just get a dad less
than what you pay for and there really is a document describing cat 5, and
another for cat 3, requirements. guess what, the levels of cascading can
not go on forever, actually, without cheating (big bucks), can't go beyond
5, and with crappy hubs, beyound 4. i've seen 3 level cascade break bootp.
go figure. it is still electricity. julius
