As one of the developers of AT&T's STARLAN 10 products I can assure you that
the development effort was done our own way.

The development of STARLAN 10 was based solely upon the information
received from the 10BASE-T standard writing process, independent of
any other pre-10BASE-T standard product from other companies.
