I have very recently been given the task of installing an AT&T STARlan
on PCs.  We have 30 3- or 4-year-old unused STARlan boards and software
given to us free, but no documentation other than the User Guides which
deal almost exclusively with software.  I must install this LAN ASAP
but have no idea of what is allowed in terms of connections via
daisy-chain or Network Extension Unit, or what maximum lengths for
cable types are.  Two flat 8 conductor cables with RJ?? ends
were included, and with them I have set up a small network to test
the hardware and software with.

Can somebody please respond to me via email with any information
that will help me
1) Find out who to talk to at AT&T about this stuff
2) figure out what the network topology is
3) where I can get current software

Thanks for any help.

Please email to dsuvax!ghelmer@cs.utexas.edu; that address seems to have the
best chance of working.
