Probably very few networks use those anymore, 15-20 year old technology.

Not a good idea for anything above a 10 user network. Even then why would you bother? Ethernet is cheap and it works.

Wow, haven't heard of those in a long time. Even back when they were considered a viable technology, there wasn't very many of them around. There's probably the odd one or two left sitting in a college basement somewhere, but I think you'd be hard pushed to find one actually being put to productive use anywhere.
