Hewlett Packard has Ethernet on twisted-pair products (which it
also calls StarLAN 10).  We have cards with the transceiver
(MAU) built in, an external transceiver, and a hub.  Like many
early products, the main difference between them and the draft
is that they don't implement link integrity test.

I believe we intend to have 10BASE-T product by the time it is
a standard.
