That is too bad, I had wondered why more wasn't said about it.
There is another solution that occurred to me about I sent my first
message. If the object is simply greater bandwidth, then adding another
802.3 lan link card and appropriate routing would help. FDDI does work
and is available (I have it running), it just costs more (4x or 5x?, in
a 995 it will be more if the software is tier priced) than 100-something
cards I've seen for Unix.
