Probably you have heard about 
	
	10-NET

from:	FOX Research, Inc
	7005 Corporate Way
	Dayton
	Ohio 45459
	(513) 433-2238

10-NET is a relatively low-cost LAN, using Ethernet chips and    
protocols, but tuned down to a 1 Mbit/sec speed, allowing the
use of twisted pair. Yes, it is available for IBM PC/AT, but also for
IBM PC and most true compatibles like PC6300. Here in Europe it is the        
official PC-LAN from Olivetti.

It is designed the way LANs  s h o u l d  be designed, i.e. distributed
and no need for dedicated server! However, it works only with IBM PCs, 
although next version should also have a STARLAN-compatible mode.

The first issue of LANSCAPES magazine contains an evaluation of it.
