  Since McI's were being discussed.
 I picked up what I thought was a 10bT adaptor
 for Mac this weekend.  It fits the quadra and had
 an RJ45, but... It's marked 'Dayna EasyNet'.
 Could this be right?  Thought it would/should be
 an Apple product, being such a basic need. 
Yes, it's a 10baseT transceiver.  Lots of companies made transceivers to
fit Macs, because the Apple ones were expensive.  I've got ones made by
Asante and Farallon.  Allied Telesyn made the best (IMHO) ones, and had a
whole range including fibre transceivers.  There are some made by Sun that
look the same -- but they only work on Sun workstations (different pinout).
