Actually, Lattisnet allows you to run ethernet protocols over Fiber, Twisted
Pairs (shielded and unshielded).  We will be using the Shielded Twisted
Pair host modules to give us Ethernet over our equivalent to IBM's shielded
pairs cable in our new building.  The local var for Synoptics just came out
this past monday to perform a live test on a sample of our cabling and using
some of our ethernet equipment that will end up on the new building network.
All worked like a charm!
