[comp.os.vms] Ethernet repeaters

mithomas@bsu-cs.UUCP (Michael Thomas Niehaus) (04/07/88)

Here is something that someone can help me with.  We are planning to
implement an AppleTalk network with the software from Pacer to implement
DECnet services on the Mac (including VT240 emulation).  To do this we
want to use a Kinetics box and an Ethernet repeater, since the VAXcluster
is in another building.  Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences in
doing this?  What about DEC LANserver 100?  Any other products to do the same
thing?  What is the cost (actual and personnel resource-wise)?

I would be happy to hear any comments, suggestions, etc.  Also, would it
be more feasible to use a Hayes Interbridge to get the AppleTalk to the VAX
and then use the Kinetics box to provide a direct connection?
