Hello Netland,

I am in the process of installing a building-wide AppleTalk network.  I have
decided that a star controller is the way to go.  I had originally been
planning on using the controller from Farallon, but have discovered that
Nuvotech has a 16 port controller for only a slightly higher price than
Farallon's 12 port box.

So, what I want to know is, does anyone out there have experience with both
controllers that can give a comparison?  If not, do you have anything good
or bad to say about either of the controllers?  Is there another controller
I should be looking at?

Any and all info. would be appreciated.  I have not seen any discussion of this
topic on the net so it may be to the advantage of others to post.  Or if you
prefer E-mail will work just as well for me.

Thanks in advance.
