Hello-
As you're probably in the process of planning,installing or expanding your
Residential Computing networks, I wanted to make sure you had information on an
innovative product for ethernet networking: EtherWave.
EtherWave is a line of products which allow you to daisy-chain ethernet nodes,
as well as add machines like Powerbooks and printers to an ethernet network.
For your computer labs or clusters, you can even build a small ethernet network
(8 nodes) without a hub. Etherwave products are 100% 10BaseT compatible, and
they work with any 10baseT hub or network. The best part is they could save
you time & money by reducing your wiring costs & need for additional hubs.
Etherwave products are available for PCs, Macs, workstations, and printers.
There are cards for machines with slots available, transceivers for machines
with built-in ethernet, and adapters for machines with no slots & for printers.
Please let me know if you'd like to test EtherWave on your network. I'd be
pleased to arrange some evaluation equipment for you.
