Software issues aside, HP doesn't even offer an ATR option on the 700 series so for those of us who spent zillions dollars (or hours if your boss is cheap) setting token ring cables, we couldn't hook up the 700 series into our existing network even OSF/1 and DCE would have been available. Just curious -- has anyone tried running ethernet over existing token ring cable? If you set it up as thinnet sections, and keep them short, it just might work. Of course your taps will be at the wrong places, but I've been amazed at what has worked around here in the past. My home Apollo ring is currently wired up with thinnet cable, and that works fine.
