Anyone know anything about or Northern Telecom's Meridian LANSTAR
system for Appletalk?  Some 'facts' from a recent ad copy...

- It is a star lan controller.
- It routes packets so that packets destined for a particular
  machine gets sent to only that machine.
- Provides 2.56MB bandwidth to each machine.
- Can put machines up to 2000 feet from the hub.
- Can have up to 1,344 users using telephone wiring.

Anyways, this sounds too good to be true.  Anyone know anything
more?
