->      It's been awhile since I had Arcnet, but from what I recall
->      it should be about twice as fast as parallel...
 AM> My only dealing with Arcnet was in Netware Troubleshooting and 
 AM> Tech Support Class.  As I recall Arcnet is 2Mbits/sec.  FYI, 
 AM> Ethernet 10Mbits/sec and IBM Token Ring 16Mbits/sec.  The 
 AM> Common reference for net speeds is in Megabits per second.
Seems to me that I remember hearing about a faster versionof Arcnet out there 
a while back,  though no particulars come to mind offhand...
