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.

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.
