>Nope. Phone companies will never wire EtherNet. Too big and expensive. >Fiber optics look good for that. Soon as that goes through, the NeXT's >EtherNet will be a boat anchor. I think we don't talk about vaporware? Normally you wire just your office. And if you need access to some other, national net, then there is no obsatcle to plug in a board into the NeXT to allow for that. But the NeXT has to work NOW and not in a few years when fiber optics are finally widespread. There are a lot of companies using ethernet. And without floppies, DOS, MACos, there has to be some way to integrate the NeXT, and this is the network.
