Our department recently installed AppleTalk Cabling, thinking we
would never exceed the 1000 ft. limit for cable length.  Well-you
guessed it- after going around heating ducts and out into hallways
looking for right-of-ways, we put in WAY OVER 1000 ft.  Not only is
performance down at the ends of the daisy-chain, but everything
else in the middle is mired down too.  
We use FastPath (kinetics) to talk to
other apple nets, but can not see all of them at this time (same
goes for LaserWriters & ImageWriters on all nets).  I read in the
9/8 issue of MacWEEK that PhoneNet can be added onto existing
AppleTalk, length restrictions go away, 
and everything will work just fine.  What I need to know
is How do we do it and How Much will it cost us. We are going to
add maybe ten more devices,
and need to have this problem whipped before the new stuff comes.
This is turning into a real headache, and I would appreciate any
and all suggestions using Farallon or non-Farallon items.  Mail
directly to me, or post your reply if you think it would be useful info
for all would-be network administrators.

Thanks In Advance
