From article <23147@brunix.UUCP>, by rca@cs.brown.edu (Ronald C.F. Antony): >> Phone companies will never wire EtherNet. Fiber optics look good for that. > I think we don't talk about vaporware? ...the NeXT has to work NOW... Granted. But we were talking about hard-wiring EtherNet on the NeXT motherboard. In the Mac, you drop in a card. Later you can drop in a fiber-optics card. Now, this is not a specific advantage (or at least I am not attempting to show that this is a specific advantage here). Rather, I was trying to show that putting Ether on the motherboard and not also including enough open architecture features was probably not the best design decision. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pete Gontier | InterNet: 6600pete@ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu, BitNet: 6600pete@ucsbuxa Editor, Macker | Online Macintosh Programming Journal; mail for subscription Hire this kid | Mac, DOS, C, Pascal, asm, excellent communication skills
