Hi...We've been successfully running an ethernet LAN here for the past
	couple of years.  Recently, however, we've received a number
	of products that conform to the IEEE 802.3 standard.  Since
	our network is a few years old, some of our hardware was
	designed according to the original ethernet standard (Version 1)
	and some according to Version 2.  I haven't really been able to
	get solid information about compatibility problems between
	these standards.  I'd like to know what the main differences
	are between the three standards and what the compatibility
	picture looks like.  Thanks...
