We are looking to connect a group of a dozen or so Netware based servers
through an existing 75 ohm cable (about 270 Mhz Bandwith I think).  We
already run several video channels through it.  The system runs almost
everywhere on our campus.  To rewire would be really expensive.  An
Arcnet or MAP style protocal might work really well in this situation
(first impression.)  We have people with the experience to deal with
RF-modems, but I don't know what kind of Network adaptors (for the 
internal bridge in the server) or what style modems would work the best.
What kind of bandwidth would this take up?

Could someone that has done this before please share some of their
experiences?

Thanks
Keith
