Although the system doesn't come with a network interface (unless you consider the serial or parallel port versions under DNet), there are several DMA and non-DMA Ethernet interfaces for the A3000 and A2000. There's also a full X-Windows implementation for the Amiga. I don't consider AppleTalk a great network, and it's not all that standard. Ethernet, in both its versions (Thin- and ThickWire), is more widely distributed supports more protocols such as TCP/IP and DecNet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rick Stevens, Small Scale Systems of Southern California sysop@xyclone.uucp | rps2@amoeba2.uucp | CIS: 75006,1355 | BIX: smallscale "I'm tellin' ya, Valiant!
