185 meters without a repeater box. From experience, I'd place at least 2
meters of cable (minimum) between stations. Add a repeater and you can go
another 185 meters. The limiting factor will be the _delay_ time for getting a
packet from one end of the network to the other end. Something about
degradation of the signal... 8-)
