UseRabbitHoleEntrySystem
Luisa:
Hi there, just wondering what this little option does in the AweConf?
I know it says "Uses Token Ring-style RabbitHole entry instead of CSMA/CD" and I know a fair bit about computers but I never did put much time into networking stuff like Token-ring etc, so I'm afraid I don't know what this means. I did a boardwide search for "UseRabbitHoleEntrySystem" but no luck, so if someone could clue me in as to what this option does, that'd be cool, thanks :)

Perfect, thanks again Jordi. :)
Larku:
Thanks for asking this question.
I wondered what it was too, but I forgot to look about it.
So thanks for answering my curiosity as well.

Token Ring-style works like a queue with numbers as you can find in waiting rooms IRL: all waiting Sims get assigned a waiting list number, and try to enter when their turns comes up. This avoids the collisions and with it the large timeouts of the default system.
Dare I ask why this is referred to as "Token Ring-style"?

It's a network protocol; CSMA/CD is Ethernet, as well. :)
