Nope. 10Mbits/sec half-duplex ethernet over 25 pair telco bundles.
Works fine up to about 100ft. It might work farther, but I haven't
tried it.

Gaaak. Starlan brings back not very fond memories of doing battle
with 3B2-400 clunkers using Ma Bell 258A wiring on CAT3 shared with
Pre-Merlin phone systems. I had no idea what I was doing, so it's
little wonder that I could never make it all work quite right.

Sorry, no LatticeNet. Some Token Ring (4Mbit/sec), Moses Networks
Promise LAN, DECNet, Novell Netware, 3com something pure ISO stack,
Microsoft LAN Manager, Lantastic, and probably a few more that I'm
successfully forgotten about. Add a bunch of TCP/IP implimentations
for Windoze 3.x that never quite worked right, and a mess of
non-802.11 schemes and protocols, that went nowhere.
