We have all our 40-odd Apollos connected in one ring with Apollo's
Domain network.  Suppose we moved to a building that was already wired
for Ethernet.  Does anyone have experience running a ring of this size
on Ethernet rather than the Domain network?  Does it work?  And can
you compare the speed of network operations to Apollo's token ring
network?  Thanks.
