The company I work for full time has just converted from G-Net (1.44
Mbps coaxial cable) to LattisNet (10Mbps on unshielded twisted pair and
fiber optic cable). The results are fantastic. We have had problems
with the installers (phone installers who understand voice but not
data). For Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) to work, the pairs must be
twisted continuously. So far we have ~350 PCs, a VAX 8810, and 15
Novell File servers on the net. Perkin Elmers, Tandems, a Sun, an IBM
4341 and a Wang 7310 are next. LattisNet can be made to work. E-mail
or call me for more details.
