Summary: Are there any faster Apple networks instead of Appletalk

I would like to here from people who has tried other approaches to
networking Machintoshes besides the slow Appletalk method.  We will
be installing a lab of Macintoshes and dread the problems that "slowtalk"
will cause our users.  We want 15-20 stations, with hopes for future 
expansion, and our experience indicate that the 230Kbps offered by
Appletalk is simply not adequate for heavy network usage.

What we are most interested in are Ethernet (or token ring) controllers
that will connect to the SCSI controller or to the SE's expansion slot.

If I get sufficient response, I'll summarize for the network.  Thanks.
