LANxperts:

I would like to compile a list of basic characteristics of standard LAN
technologies.  What I am interested in are things such as data rates, 
segment lengths, number of nodes per segment (or ring).  One would expect
that such a table would have been compiled; if it has, I couldn't find it.

Specific standards to be included will be all stable variations of the 
following:
	802.3
	802.4
	802.5
	FDDI

I would appreciate any references containing this information that 
netlanders could send.  The information itself (while less useful) would 
be appreciated.  I'll post a summary to the net if successful.
