Last time I tried this it was broken. Since then I have not heard reports of
it being fixed as there hasn't been much interest.
I can buy a 20 port 10baseT switch for the price of a PC with 3 Ethernet
cards, so I personally don't have much interest in this.
I can buy an 8 port 100baseT switch for the cost of 2 PCs.
