[comp.os.vms] Statistical Multiplexors

dunnett@mala.bcc.CDN (Malcolm Dunnett) (07/04/87)

We are planning to purchase some stat muxes. One application will be 16
channels point-to-point, the other application would be a 3 node system
with 16 channels at one end, routing through a 4 or 8 channel node to 16
channels at the other end.

Due to local supplier/support considerations the 2 choices appear to be
Timeplex or Gandalf (Switchmux). I would appreciate any information pro
or con on either of these systems.

ps. the links between the muxes will be 9600 bps modems.

Thanks in advance.
