When I posted the original query about non-ethernet lan technologies,
I expected that a great many people would be prepared to share their
wealth of experience in other areas, but it appears not.

I would like to thank the people who made the effort to reply. [The
addresses were a mixture of UUCP and JANET due to different mailers,
I hope that the routes I have given from a major site will work!]
