I need a good reference on the electrical rules/specs for Ethernet.
My Dad is a telecommunications consultant who is laying out the cable
plant for an office building. The non-technical lan manager person
for this building keeps laying out all kinds of rules, which Dad
being an old time RF jock doesn't see the point of. Specifically,

1) Why can't you use 75ohm cable for thin ethernet?

2) Is is legal to run a pigtail of two or three feet from the
   base of the BNC T to the Ethernet card?

Please respond by E-mail, and thanks in advance!
