My boss pointed out that one way to speed up an AppleTalk network might
be to make a hub that could run the network in a star configuration, so
that each Macintosh could have full AppleTalk speed instead of contending
with the others on the network.  This was proposed as an alternative to
spending an extra $1k/machine for Ethernet.  Has anybody built such a
network?  If so, how well did it work?

Thanks in advance  -- Walt Haas   haas@cs.utah.edu    utah-cs!haas
