The last ParNet cable I made was 35 - 40 feet long.  Due to convenience
(and laziness) I used unshielded ribbon cable (horrors).  Anyway, it works
fine and is used daily.  It has been both stretched to length, and now is
mostly rolled up between two machine close together.

Has anyone heard *ANYTHING* recently about NET: from John Toebes/SAS?  It's 
been several months since I heard any news.
