	Hello All,

	I'm trying to size up some equipement and iron out some issues:

	Can anyone tell me if the Wellfleet Multi-Protocal Routers have
	any diagnostics (floppy or tftp) other than the ROM based power
	-up diags?  The machines in review are the LN-2000 (Link Node)
	and CN-3000 (Concentrator Node).  They (Wellfleet) offer hardware
	& maintenance support via Prime Computer, and neither will ellaborate..

	-Mean time between failures of either type (including the FN-1000,
	 Feeder Node).

	-The CN-3000 can have a secondary power supply installed as backup,
	 How reliable is it?

	-What do you _like_ , _dislike_ about the units?

	-Any "Un-documented Features" that pop up ?
