I need some help re. twisted pair LANs. Information from net experts would
be very much appreciated. This is the problem: Given that you have an
Ethernet capability (we're talking home grown Unix microprocessors with
proprietary networking software) what LAN transmission technology is
available for use with conventional twisted pair wiring. (The supposition is
that Ethernet cable, or any coax, is too difficult to work with in some
applications).

The best solution would minimize the need to change the existing Ethernet
hardware/software capability, eg. you would just have to connect the
Ethernet transceiver cable to a token ring station instead of the normal
transceiver. Obviously I don't know if this kind of answer is feasible, but
if not - what?

Thanks in advance.
