[comp.unix.questions] Query on Vitalink and Digital Link products

ht@ashtate.UUCP (Haral Tsitsivas) (06/08/87)

In my search for a remote ethernet (baseband) bridge deliverable today
(read not vaporware) I have come across Vitalink and its "Translan"
product.  Translan allows for either a multiport or a single duplex T-1
communication line utilizing the 802.3 ethernet data link specification.

The CSU unit recommended by Vitalink is the DL551V-01A-VT (specific 
to Translan) available from Digital Link.  The DL551V-01A-VT provides
a V.35 connection to Translan (cable provided by Translan) and connects
to the phone company T-1 line via a 15-pin d-female to an 8-pin modular
connector.

Does anyone have experience with those products in connecting ethernet
networks together?   And are there any other products I should consider?

Thanks in advance.
