- You will need an ArcNet<->EtherNet bridge. ArcNet is electrically and
- logically different from ethernet, so you cannot plug it into the en
- port. However, I have never heard of ArcNet running over twisted pair
- lines, so your friend could be mistaken. If he is mistaken, then it
- is most likely 10baseT ethernet. In that case, just plug in and go!
-
- If it is really ArcNet, I am not entirely sure it will work with a
- bridge (ArcNet is also a lot slower than ethernet).
