Apollo offers both Thin-Net and traditional Ethernet connection (as well
as token ring).  The DN3000 may be configured with an 802.3 controller
which has a built in Thin-Net BNC and a connector for the transceiver cable 
on Thick-Net.  Older installations seem to hook to the Thick-Net and newer
installations go either way.  Incidentally, Domain Data Services are now
available on a Native Ethernet connection.


Good Luck on your research.
