I find this statement interesting for a couple of different reasons:
1) Paying Doom over ARCnet. -- I don't think I realized that ARCnet
was standardized enough that normal networking applications would work

2) "it was easy to make a passive 4-port ARCnet hub" ... I don't know
how to respond to that with anything but curiosity and /many/ open ended
questions.
