Starlan was pretty big in its' day. When I worked at IRD/Westinghouse in
1988 I walked into a Novell network that was running 2.01 on a Starlan
network. If I recall there were 8 port hubs that were chained together
in a daisy chain configuration: I think those were bell labs hubs.
Anyway the
Wow. I ran StarLan 1 around my apartment in college, using an AT 3b1 as the
hub and a collection of 8088 PCs with 8-bit ISA cards scattered around. I
could rlogin (not telnet, from my recollection) from any of the PCs to the 3B1,
and dial out through a 14.4 modem into the university network.
