I know almost nothing about ARCNET except that it is a token passing architecture. Question : What are the similarities and differences between ARCNET and Token Ring? (this is really a question about what is ARCNET). Question : I know that Token Rings are almost real time capable due to more predictable response/delay times, allowance for priority etc (simplistically speaking). How would an ARCNET implementation serve in this regard. This questions are interesting to me personally as well as a possible project I may be doing later. Hopefully it is interesting enough to start a discussion. jin meng
