Well, fast stuff to wireless goes Unmanaged 10/100 switch - 3Com 10bT
switch - firewall/router to get out, or the last step 3Com - Airport to
get wireless.  Since I have nothing but 10bT and 100bTX and 802.11b,
everything of similar speed plugs into the same box, no Token Ring or
[CF]DDI.  Of course I have some stuff that uses AUI-10bT transcievers,
does that count?  And when I build my computer building that will be a
100bFX fiber link to the house, which would technically add two more
hops.
