I was at Nordstrom for quite a while, and the PS/2 line was well entrenched, and pretty darn reliable. We used it with 16mbit TokenRing over Cat3, of which I pulled more than a little, and used SNA as well with a terminal program from Attachmate. Token Ring cards from Madge, Intel and one other the name of which I can't remember. Synoptics switches (not called switches, but it's been too long for me to remember the technical term) Gads.
