I have very recently been given the task of installing an AT&T STARlan on PCs. We have 30 3- or 4-year-old unused STARlan boards and software given to us free, but no documentation other than the User Guides which deal almost exclusively with software. I must install this LAN ASAP but have no idea of what is allowed in terms of connections via daisy-chain or Network Extension Unit, or what maximum lengths for cable types are. Two flat 8 conductor cables with RJ?? ends were included, and with them I have set up a small network to test the hardware and software with. Can somebody please respond to me via email with any information that will help me 1) Find out who to talk to at AT&T about this stuff 2) figure out what the network topology is 3) where I can get current software Thanks for any help. Please email to dsuvax!ghelmer@cs.utexas.edu; that address seems to have the best chance of working. -- Guy Helmer work: DSU Computing Services, Business & Education Institute (605) 256-5315 play: MidIX System Support Services (605) 256-2788 dsuvax!ghelmer@cs.utexas.edu, ...!bigtex!loft386!dsuvax!ghelmer

But be fore warned you may get charged ($150 per hour) if its not under warranty and if you don't have the manuals and we have to walk you through an install. NJC StarGROUP Engineer.
