I heard from a friend that has one that he hooked up to his local net
that it causes massive problems with his routers.  After attaching a
$20,000 sniffer to his net he found that some illegally formatted packets
were coming from atnas.sualc.com.

|Does anyone have a FDDI interface and a TCP-IP driver for the Hammacher

|Tel-Net next year?  I quote from the recent catalog which arrived this
|morning's mail:
|
|	THE ONLY FIBER OPTIC CHRISTMAS TREE
|
|	A Hammacher Schlemmer exclusive, this white Christmas tree is enhanced
|	by advanced fiber optic lighting technology.  Two light sources
|	encased at the base of the tree project through revolving colored
|	filters to separate optic fibers cabled evenly among the branches.
|	The fiber cables end in 200 glittering lights, each containing a
|	spectrum of eight colors that change continuously, for a vision of
|	great warmth and brilliance.  No lights to strings.  Shipped assembled
|	--just lower the branches.  Transformer uses standard outlet.
|	Height: 6'.
