I have some questions about PhoneNET. 

How do I make a LocalTalk to PhoneNET adapter? 

Is there any differences between the ordinary PhoneNET connector and the 
StarConnector more than the number of modular connections, i.e. can I use 
a StarConnector in a "backbone" configuration? 

Any disadvantages over LocalTalk? 

What is the cable specification (if not using modular cable)?

What are the electrical differences compared to LocalTalk?
