[mod.computers.vax] Info request re. terminal servers

SITTERUD%PLU@AMES-IO.ARPA (09/25/86)

We are planning on installing a terminal server system.  We anticipate con-
nections to at least 64 terminals and 3 hosts, an 11/780, an 8800 and a
Balance 8000.  Therefore:

Does anyone who uses the DEC Ethernet Terminal Servers have any statistics
on system overhead for LAT?  How effective is the connectivity to non-LAT
hosts?  How reliable is the hardware and software?  Is there a noticeable
contention problem across the Ethernet?

While we're on the subject:

What about Able's Attach system?  If anyone's using it, how do you like it?
Any problems?

Is anyone using a different terminal server system with especially good
results.

I don't mind getting inundated with information and I will post the results
of this query to this mailing list.

Thank you all!!
