Hello, Ash:
Maybe I should have made the same point, since Roy's message had both networks
named, but I didn't think it was necessary. I can't think of any way to join
these two different systems directly, either. Roy was asking a confused array
of questions, but I think he has been straightened out on a few things.
As to hubs, ARCnet can use "active links" (basically an amplifier) or "active
hubs" (basically an amplifier plus a bus extender). Good luck finding one,
though.
BTW: I probably should have bought another 2060 from you, since my Amiga
family has grown since. ;^)
