I just retrieved Harvard test results for some ethernet/FDDI gear,
and *if the data is correct* the behaviour of existing FDDI 
equipment is, to be polite, peculiar. 

We were going to use FDDI to connect two wiring closets,
both having multiple ethernets. They are now connected
with one ethernet (some kilometers of fiber..), and it is
running out of steam.

FDDI seems not to be worth the money..
