As well as many other things.

You can also use some latches and transistors to make your own ethernet
'hub' (Kinda confusing unless you look at a schematic).
No col. detection so TCP/IP retry rates should be set very high. :)

Not efficient or reliable. The middle computer has to be up for the two
extreme computers to talk to each other. It also becomes a problem when
the gateway is limited to the type of traffic.
