Hubs/Segment Length
When connecting two hubs together in a 10BaseT network without the use of bridges or repeaters, what is the maximum length of cable allowed connecting the two hubs?
Also, is it possible to connect (let's say) Hub1 to Hub2 and then connect Hub2 to Hub3 going from crossover port to regular port - crossover port to regular port (or using crossover cables from regular port to regular port)?

Sometimes you've got to prove to your friends that you're still worth a damn!

Connection two hubs together would still be 100m, but you could add another after the second hub to connect to another device.Also, is it possible to connect (let's say) Hub1 to Hub2 and then connect Hub2 to Hub3 going from crossover port to regular port - crossover port to regular port (or using crossover cables from regular port to regular port)?
The ports between hubs will have to match (crossover -> crossover) for information to be passed correctly
