- You can't (easily). ARCNET, while using similar wire and connectors
- is not compatible with 10Base-T ethernet which is available on the
- NeXT. You would need a MAC-level ARCNET/Ethernet bridge if you wanted
- to use the NeXT as an Novell client. This is hardly a cheap or cost
- effective approach.
