I've written this several times recently so I won't go into the gory details
yet again, but instead refer you to the srchives. The summary is, "MacUser
really blew it on this one. The only thing they get exactly right is that a
faster server is a better server, so use an SE/30 or IIcx."

In fact EtherNet is a big win, especially for larger nets, and especially
when you're doing heavy file service. Scaling up CPU power also lets you see
a much bigger win from EtherTalk.
