   I'm looking for info about Standford Microsystems' ARCnet cards that
   connect over twisted-pair telephone wire.  Supposedly, they sell retail
   for about $300.  Has anyone out there used  Standford Microsystems'
   ARCnet cards before?  All pointers and info will be much appreciated.

I don't know if they're interoperable with Xinetron's twisted pair
ARCNET boards, but Xinetron sells TP ARCNET boards for $89.

Xinetron sells cheap Ethernet and Arcnet cards.  Their 8 bit Ethernet
card is $139 quantity one, and their 16 bit card is $165 quantity one.
We have packet drivers for both of them, and for their ARCNET board
also Their address is:

Xinetron, Inc.
2330 B Walsh Avenue
Santa Clara, CA 95051
