I was also able to track down that the "Fox Lan" is indeed called 10-Net.
The more I research into the design of this network, the more impressed I
get.  It is completely distributed allowing "mounting" of any resource on
any machine (security permitting).  It will be Netbios compatible by June
they promise as well.

Price per workstation is $695 (retail) complete with all software.  The bus
cable is extra ($.20/foot).  2000' typical, expandable to 10000' with 
repeaters.  Performance seems to be quite reasonable according to reviews
and reports I've read.  This appears to be a very possible solution to
resource charing in small (<32 station) offices with light network loads.

Thanks for the info.
