Two questions...hopefully lots of answers:
I am in desperate need of Ethernet hardware... preferably thin
Ethernet, and I need it delivered within the next two weeks (!). The
problem: I cannot find any dealers/manufacturers that sell the stuff
and can delver it soon enough. Does anybody know of a reliable and
stocked source for three transceivers, cables and associated accessories?
(We are located in south-eastern Ontario, near Toronto)
While on the Ethernet topic.... can anybody elaborate on the
Ethernet topics...
thin ethernet/thick ethernet
IEEE 802.3 / ?
* Ethernet V1.0 / Ethernet V2.0 transceivers
Transceivers with a "Heartbeat"
We are experiencing some problems in communicating between Sun workstations
and uVAX's and a VAX 780. In one case, a remote login prompt takes about
20-30 seconds to get... as if communciations were in almost continuous
collision. I have heard rumour about "slight incompatibility in timing
and signal level thresholds" and "differnet revisions of the IEEE 802.3
standards". Comments anyone?
