I have to configure a system with several VAX connect to
terminals and each other by Ethernet. Seperate Ethernets
will be used for Cpu-Cpu comm and Cpu-Terminal comm.
Can anyone comment on the following Ethernet hardware?
Ungermann Bass NIU
Ungermann Bass Net One
Bridge Communications equipment
CS/1 and CS/100 Communications Servers
GS/1 and GS/3 Gateway Servers
What is the best Ethernet controller for a VAX? We can
assume the driver will take full advantage of the controller.
DEC DEUNA
3 COM
Ungermann Bass via DR11
Interlan
Are there Others?
Is there a Ethernet Manager/Moniter Device?
Any other comments about Ethernet hardware would be appreciated.
Thanks,

The Ungerman/Bass NIU is a box which sits on ethernet, and has
several RS-232's coming out of it. Your VAX would talk to the
network via RS-232.
Something like the 3Com system, on the other hand, would have
the VAX talk directly upon the net via the ethernet interface
card.
