[comp.dcom.lans] Use of Thinnet and Thicknet

mark@alias.UUCP (Mark Andrews) (08/10/89)

My company recently purchased some X terminals which have 2 possible
inputs; thicknet and thinnet. Up to this time, we have totally used
thicknet between SGI workstations (4D/[2678]0's). Can thinnet be used
in conjunction with thicknet with no problems and if so, how?? I
probably have lots of questions about this, but this is the first!!
Are there any books or articles available which describe how to
"connect" thicknet and thinnet?? In some catalogues, I have seen
a terminal server connected to thicknet with a thicknet drop cable
that has thinnet terminal connectors??

				Any information would be appreciated!!
