[comp.dcom.lans] Ethernet physical specs

hardiman@csd4.csd.uwm.edu (Paul V Hardiman) (04/18/91)

I need to set up a simple 802.3 network, as follows:

1) A short span to which will be connected an IBM 3081 mainframe
   and a PC running PCRoute.

2) Another short span to which will be connected a Wang/VS mini.

3) The 2 short spans will be connected by repeaters running over
   a fiber optic backbone.

Can someone direct me to an information source that will tell me
what I need to know in order to draw up specs for the physical
installation of this network?  My LAN experience to date has been
entirely with token ring.

Thanks, in advance!
