[comp.periphs] High speed interface wanted.

jimi@cernvax.cern.ch (Jean-Michel Jouanigot) (12/05/90)

Hi all,

  Our project is to run TCP/IP over a 8 Mbit/s satellite link.

  Our main problem is to connect a unix host to the satellite modem, using a
  high speed serial interface, preferably VME.
  We are desperately looking for such a card, with the following
  characteristics:

  - At least, 2 Mbit/s throughput, preferably 8 Mbit/s (or more !)
  - HDLC framing is accepted
  - SunOs driver (if available)
  - if 8 Mbit/s not achieved, several lower speed interfaces accepted (i.e.
  2*4 or 4*2). However, these interfaces should be supported by the same
  board.
  - If possible, the serial interface should be G703.

  Information welcome. Please reply directly to me.
