OK, I agree that fitting a PC-powered hub into a client PC isn't the
best decision in the world. But losing one segment of a 10Base-T LAN
(which was the technology I used) is not the end of the world, and I
took the precaution of installing the hub in my server.
Despite these potential operational banana skins, it was still a product
that tipped me irrevocably into the world of Ethernet (having earlier
toyed with pale imitations).
