[comp.sys.novell] Twisted-Pair Arcnet: Hub absolutely necessary?

bhendrix@ersys.edmonton.ab.ca (Brian Hendrix) (05/18/91)

We're just in the process of installing a twisted-pair arcnet Advanced 
Netware 2.15 (on a non-dedicated 286) LAN at work.  We've been told by 
our vendor that, using twisted pair, an active hub is not necessary.  
However, we've been unable to get more than 3 out of 8 machines up and 
running at any one time!  From what I've read (and none of it is too 
clear) I get the impression that we do need an active hub.
 
Any comments?  Please reply by e-mail.
