From postnews Wed Feb 24 17:57:27 1988 Subject: enet on fibrea Newsgroups: comp.dcom.lans Keywords: repeater or xcvr extender, dist. over 1 km. Does anyone have the names of companies that sell and service fibre optic ethernet repeaters or transceiver extenders? We need to link a couple of ethernets on fibre over a stretch that's about 4271 ft. American photonics made the RL5000 that seemed a possibility, but they just went bankrupt and filed chapter 11. Also, are there people who've mixed fibre optics, baseband and broadband ethernets via Chipcom broadband ethernet equipment ? I would appreciate any accounts of such configurations very much..thanks, Padma Krishnaswamy
