%X IEEE 1355 HS\-Links and their support devices have been
   investigated as part of the ESPRIT projects Macram\[`e] and
   Arches. A description of the HS\-Link technology and initial
   experience with the RCube 8\-way packet router and the
   Bullit HS\-Link interface device are presented. A 64 node
   HS\-Link switching network based using these devices is
   being constructed at CERN. We report on the design and
   construction of the network testbed.
