OS/2 Warp question - MPTS?

There's always ARCnet! I used to run ARCnet a lot, it was easier to
bring up than a lot of the other hardware, and it worked fine. I think
someone recently posted that it's still around too, though you'd need
old cards I imagine to get support from old drivers.

Ugh, all that RG-62... good luck finding all those 92-ohm terminators!
