[comp.dcom.lans] Token Passing Ring?

nblair@hobbit.gandalf.ca (Nancy Blair) (05/08/91)

We have a requirement to support token passing ring technology in addition
to our existing ethernet cabling.  Apparently there are two competing
approaches for delivering token passing ring services: hub based platforms
and standalone MAUs.

I, as a service provider, would appreciate receiving opinions and experiences
relating to the delivery of services (MAU vs hub), cabling (STP vs UTP),
including factors and reasons for selection.  Also, I'd appreciate
hearing of successful use of UTP at 16M bps.
