- Lines: 12

- We want to replace our Starlan network with something that actually works
- but we have a lot of money invested in the hardware. From what I understand
- Starlan is just a variation of Ethernet made to run over twisted pair wiring.
- In fact the microchannel NICs in our PS/2s have "Ungerman-Bass" printed on
- them and have a D-shell connector on the back which is then connected to an
- external box that adapts them to an RJ-45 jack. Our ISA boards have the RJ-45
- jack built in. Do these boards conform to the 10Base-T standard? Can we just
- swap the Stargroup software with Netware and keep rolling?
