You might have better luck in comp.sys.ibm.pc,
which also covers compatibles.

I have not used it myslef, but I know several people
who are very enthusiastic about Lantastic.
It is inexpensive (<$100/node) and works well.

You can also get kits with network cards, software, and cable,
right from Lantastic or its dealers.  The local Computer City store
in Rochester has about 5 or 6 variations (Twisted pair, Thinnet, etc.).

There's a book out, _Running Lantastic_, by King, that is
very good on choosing and setting up your network.

Hope this helps.
