Darn it, what's up with all these repeated words instead of the proper
words in messages from me!.  I think that some evil hacker, like maybe
that guy in florida with all the illegal crays (because what legal
purpose could they serve a non criminal?), is using superior, and anti
patriotic computing power to intercept and change my mesages trying to
make me look like a bloody fool!

Yes, but we have plenty of time.

After all, don't you know that Syskonnect 66/64bit PCI FDDI adapters
are cheap?  Don't you want to be able to take advantage of the extra
fancy slots your Ultra 30?  All you'd need would be a FDDI <->
ethernet bridge.  Like, say putting an FDDI card in the axil, and
turning on routing, or buying a lanplex 2500 with FDDI card (BTW,
there is lanplex2500 on ebay claiming to have an 8 port FDDI card, but
I suspect it is really an 8 port 10baseFX card).
