Re: A89: Me distributing roms. (Sure it is...)
Ethernet DOESN'T use start and stop bits. Most cable modem networks (the
*good* ones) use an ATM style backbone.
Ethernet data is sampled from a known clock which it gets from a preamble
generated by the ethernet cards.
1mbit is 128kbyte/s on ethernet.
