ITEKAT! A much more expensive but superior implementation of LocalTalk than PhoneNET, too, my laser printer runs off the stuff. ~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit

I've got a network set up with that stuff. Unlike PhoneNet, you don't have to worry about terminating each end of the chain. The wires themselves are exactly like PhoneNet, only better shielded. In fact, I have an adapter from MiniDin 3 to PhoneNet. The terrible thing is that even though the MiniDin 3 cabling is more robust than PhoneNet, LocalTalk still runs incredibly slowly!
