text: how many ethernet switches can i connect together in series ? node a has an ethernet switch connected to an ethernet switch at node b.  the connection between node a and b is through a tiny bridge over a 64kbps (dso) channel within a t1 circuit.  node b is also connected to node c is same manner.  how many nodes can i connect in series like this? i want to telnet from node a location and be able to connect to any device on the ethernet switch at any node.  thanks. i don't think there is a limit.  i do think that 100 would be too many.  at my location we have about 30 switches daisy chained.
