Maybe. The 'T' in "10baseT" etc is the same 'T' as in "UTP" -- unshielded
twisted pairs. I don't know what the 'T' in "T1" stands for. It might be
the same as one in "AT&T" since they coined the term, or it might mean
"twisted pair" because that's how T1 lines were originally made. T1, BTW,
is 1.544Mb/s, and T3 is 44.736Mb/s; AFAIK there's no such thing as T2. A
bit like ISDN; there's ISDN2, ISDN6, ISDN30, but no others.

Nope.
