According to the MacWEEK of March 7th - Vol. 3 No. 10 - Kinetics Inc. will
introduce a card that will give you the option of connecting to thick-wire
or twisted-pair ethernets.  The board will cost around $500 but not be avail-
able until the third quarter.

This is paraphrased from a small article on the front page of the magazine, in
the "Latest" column.
