I'm looking at the prospect of replacing several 3Com 3C100 ethernet tranceivers, and I'd like to get some opinions on what to replace them with. All current tranceivers are intrusive, but non-intrusive ones can be considered as well. So far, I'm between the newer 3Com ones and Cabletron's. I seem to remember some problems with Interlan's offerings, and I've had experience with TCL's. Any comments appreciated. -- @disclaimer(Any concepts or opinions above are entirely mine, not those of my employer, my GIGI, my VT05, or my 11/34) beak is@>beak is not Anthony A.

I'm curious about the problems that you had (or heard about) with the Interlan transceivers. Could you elaborate on this ?

Could you elaborate on this ? I've never used one. I said the above because I vaguely remember people saying that they liked to break or something, a few years back on the net. I can't offer anything more specific. I've already received several recommendations for Cabletron tranceivers, and at around $250-$275 a pop, I'm probably going to go with them. -- @disclaimer(Any concepts or opinions above are entirely mine, not those of my employer, my GIGI, my VT05, or my 11/34) beak is@>beak is not Anthony A.

Go with Cabletron. They're probably the only major manufacturer who hasn't
had some (or all) of their Ethernet gear removed from service here.
