    Sounds like you've got a very similar setup to ours... while I can't
give a lot of answers (I haven't figured it out yet either), I can say
that I've just about decided that ARCnet will have to go. Most everything
I've found is Ethernet only, of course.

    It will be slow for either more than one person accessing your site
at the same time and for people with higher speed links, yes. However,
if your site provides text only and little in the way of graphics,
sound, or just things that take a long time to transfer, it might well
be acceptible.

    I never thought about that possibility before! I'm not sure how it
would, but what do I know...?
