          Designed to be a low-cost Ethernet solution, the Artisoft  AE-1/T
          Ethernet adapter  lets you cable your network with the affordable
          twisted-pair  cabling  often  found   prewired  in  newer  office
          buildings. Then  all you  have to do  is add  Artisoft's Peer-Hub
          concentrator --  or any  other standard 10BASE-T  hub --  to make
          your network connections. 

          Unshielded twisted-pair  cable plugs  directly into the  adapter,
          which  then cables  directly to  the  Peer-Hub concentrator.  The
          adapter's link-integrity  LED will show if the  connection to the
          hub is correct. And because Artisoft designed its AE-1/T Ethernet
          adapter  in  conjunction  with  its  Peer-Hub  concentrator,  the
          adapter will not only use any of the concentrator's five external
          twisted-pair  ports,  but  also  take  advantage  of  any of  its
          internal twisted-pair connectors.    

          The AE-1/T Ethernet adapter offers increased efficiency with more
          IRQ options (Interrupt Request  Lines) than most  other adapters.
          These additional IRQs can be used by AT class machines  or above,
          leaving you more  free IRQs  for other hardware devices. 

          The Artisoft AE-1/T Ethernet adapter is an 8-bit adapter which is
          NE1000-compatible, offers a 10 Mbps  transfer rate and is in 100%
          compliance with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards.
