If you're talking STARLAN 10, it is supposed to be compliant
with the 10BASET draft standard out for vote.  STARLAN (one,
I guess) is not, but can be bridged to regular Ethernet.  Hopefully
everyone will embrace the 10BASET standard.  Cabletron has already
pledged converting their product to bring it in line with the
standard.  The other big player, Synoptics, hasn't been heard from
yet with regard to their Lattisnet product.  They've got a bigger
problem as their product is not as close to the 10BASET draft as
others are (their hubs are not repeaters).
