These are the ones with LED's to show activity and self-termination capability. Has anyone had any problems with them? Are they superior to everything else out there? - Ralph

In general, our experience has been that they are better. We have had particularly good results installing them at all our laser printers, which tend to put more noise on the network than other devices. Under very difficult conditions we have found it necessary to still plug in a PhoneNet resistor or to use an unterminated PhoneNet connector instead of a TurboNet ST. The LEDs by the way are hard to see through the black casing in a bright room. You need to get very close to it and watc it precislely at the right angle to see sporadic small packet. A dense stream of packets is much easier to notice. Wolfgang N. Naegeli Oak Ridge National Laboratory
