- This may be superfluous info.
-
- Starlan is a 1 Mbit/Sec network technology which does not comply with
- 10Base-T and is interoperable only with the aid of Starlan <->
- Starlan10 Bridges.
-
- Starlan10 hardware is a 10Mbit/Sec and complies with 10Base-T and, in
- our experience, has been compatible with directly connected Ethernet
- and 10Base-T equipment from other vendors.
-
- It is possible that both Starlan10 and Starlan refer to other
- higher layer products as well, but we use Starlan10 along with Ethernet
- Coaxial cable primarily as a media over which to run TCP/IP protocols.
