We need to find out info about various IBM PC local-area network
systems.  In particular, we're looking into the IBM PC lan (both
'star' and token ring), or Novell NetWare on IBM cards, Novell cards
or Ethernet cards.  The attitude that seems to be forming is that
NetWare running on Ethernet adapter cards (from Novell) ought to 
be the best overall choice.

But we really need more facts, figures, war stories, etc. to help
us convince those in charge of paying for the stuff.

Does anyone have experience with any of these systems?  Any ideas
you could offer on number of terminals supported before network 
performance degrades, or throughput speeds, etc would be great.

Even better would be comparisons between these systems, if anyone
has had experience with more than one.

Thanks.
Steve Willoughby
