Hi,

  We currently have about 20 Macs connected via LocalTalk and a
Kinetics Fastpath-4, as one zone.  I need to expand the net and add on
a mixture of approx 40 Macs and PC's (PC's have LocalTalk cards) to the
net.

  Due to the increased distance, I have decided to recable the floor 
using PhoneNet.  How should I go around distributing the load evenly.
Would another FastPath-4 do the job? 
What is the function of the Star Controller by Farlon ? Would it help ?

  Any comments would be appreciated.  Thanks.
