Summary: Experiences, anyone?

I just got some literature in the mail today talking about a twisted-pair
ethernet product by an Isreali company, LANNET Data Communications, LTD.
They have one product, the LE-6, which is essentially a L-O-N-G transceiver
cable for ethernet, and another product, the LE-8, which is a Multiport
Transceiver for use with up to 8 LE-6s.  I was wondering if anyone has had
any experience with this equipment, good or bad, which we would be using on
a lower-cost equivalent of the IBM cabling system?  Any idea of the prices
for these things?  What we got were two spec sheets from a place called RAD
data communications in Rochelle Park, NJ.   I'm going to call them for price
info, but I just wanted to know what people around here thought of it (besides
the usual comments on twisted-pair ethernet in general, please :-)
