Still a contender for IEEE approval is ATT's S LAN, which uses "already installed twisted-pair telephone cables". I wasn't aware there was that much extra capacity in my telephone cables. Anyone from ATT care to comment? -- amd70 is dead, tell a friend Phil Ngai (408) 982-6554 UUCPnet: {ucbvax,decwrl,ihnp4,allegra,intelca}!amd!phil ARPAnet: amd!phil@decwrl.ARPA
