I'm looking for users of high-speed networks (80 mbps or more) who would be willing to talk to me for an article. Your network can be proprietary or FDDI-based. Please reply here or by email. The article is to appear in a special report called CW Direct, which is put out by an arm of ComputerWorld. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your help! Actually, if you're a vendor of such products, I'd be interested in hearing from you, too. Thanks!

Sharon (and anyone else who likes Christmas early), I suggest that you attend InterOp this October. We had just under a dozen FDDI stations last year, and we're going to have ~30 this year... of course, each station is really a vendor seeking to show "interoperability". We usually have fun, and really, having all of the network toys under the tree in October is a networker's Christmas morning. There will be non-FDDI toys, of course!

We had just under a dozen FDDI stations last year, and [...] For those who do not have the opportunity to go to InterOp, regional shows and vendor evaluator units are the only way to look at and play with the new toys. Since I cannot encumber funds, evaluators might not be appropriate for me to look at. This leaves regional shows (sigh). Are there any shows in the midwest (chicago ?) that specialize in such high speed networking? Even if my boss would not be willing to pay for it, I would be willing to fly there to see the show if there were something close.
