	Just a quick comment on behalf of one of the clone companies,Nuvotech.
We have a 150 or so node net in the building. We went with Nuvotech for two 
reasons. One they cost less and TWO they were self-terminating. Yes I know 
that Farallon has a scheme for putting the resistors in the wall, making their
network terminate. We decided that since we wouldn't need to open any wall 
plates, for the nuvotech, that it was the way to go. We have had them 
installed now for 2 years and I am glad to say that I have never had any 
trouble with any of the Boxes.

	We needed the network to terminate because of secs. moving their 
machinesinto secure areas at night.
