We are using several Macintosh in our office.
Our Laboratory is building Appletalk network, but Appletalk has
several limit:
	1. Appletalk can connect only 32 devices.
	2. Very slow speed (about 230 Kbps)
	3. cable length is 1000 feet
So Appletalk can't expand.
Our network connect 30 devices now. Cable length is about 1000 feet.
I hear some products for expanding Appletalk : Phone-net, Flash Talk
and FastPath...

If you know how to expand Appletalk, please inform me on it.
