DEMPR/Ethernet Information Wanted
I am working up a design for an Ethernet to link
several Sun workstations, a couple of Vaxen and a Pyramid .
DEC offers a product called a DEMPR that connects to thick
Ethernet by a transceiver and gives eight connection for
thin Ethernet cables out the other side. This seems like an
ideal way to economically link lots of workstations via Eth-
ernet.
The question is: Does anyone in netland have experi-
ence with this device? How well does it work? Are there
cautions that should be observed when designing one of these
into an Ethernet? Is there something else that does the same
thing that I should consider?
If you have information on these questions, please mail
it to me. I will post a summary of mail responses that I
receive to the net. Thankyou.
