Has anyone else tried the EasyNet connectors from NuvoTech.  After seeing
the big ads in MacWeek, I asked NuvoTech is they would send me a couple
for evaluation.  They did, and two things struck me right off.  First,
they were obious rip-offs of Farallon's PhoneNet connectors and b) they
didn't work with our wiring scheme.  We connect our Macs over Type I wire
to a central wiring closet using the Farallon Star Controller.  When I
connected the EasyNet's my network connection went away, zones, servers 
everything.  I couldn't even see the LW next to me.  When I just 
connected my one Mac (II) to the  LW, I could see the LW.  Has anyone else
tried these things?  Any success?  Any thought about ripoffs?
