Does anyone know who (if anyone) sells Mac ethernet cards with a twisted pair interface? Alternatively, does there exist an adapter that enables a standard thinnet interface to mesh with a twisted pair medium? Much obliged, patrick goebel--romeo@lindy.stanford.edu

I know of no companies that supply the former, since twisted-pair ethernet is still relatively new. There are is least one company that supplies the latter, however: SynOptics Communications. We have a SynOptics 2600 Thinnet Adaptor because NeXT in their wisdom only supplied a thinnet interface. It cost about $600, as I recall. I believe that Farallon Computing also has something along this line. * * ** Scott Robert Anderson gatech!emoryu1!phssra * * * ** phssra@unix.cc.emory.edu phssra@emoryu1.bitnet * * * * * ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Yes, Currently Kinetics is shipping a card for the Mac II with a LattisNet transciever on-board. The card is the EtherPort IIL. Also, Cabletron has just begun shipping a card for the Mac II that has an onboard twisted - pair xciever.
