[bit.listserv.novell] Network Topology

ALG106@PSUVM.PSU.EDU (02/12/90)

Someone I know is about to put in a Novell network.  They were all ready
to go with unshielded twisted pair ethernet.  Then, one of thier consultants
suggested they go with token ring.  I do not know enough about these matters
to form a fair suggestion, so I am turning to the net for some advice.  What
are the advantages and/or disadvatages of the different setups from a price,
performance, user and managers stand-point.


                              Thank You,
                                 Andy
