Hi, We are in the process of evaluating routers for our network, which is a reasonably complicated one. We currently use IP (of course), XNS, Ethertalk, Decnet, etc., etc. We have a Cisco which is performing quite well, but seems much more expensive than the competing Wellfleet models. We would like to get input from user's of both of these routers about the company's responsiveness, the performance, and the capabilities of the routers. Our eventual goal is to use these routers to form an FDDI backbone and to route onto multiple ethernets. Thanks in advance, Scooter Morris Genentech, Inc. scooter@genie.gene.com

We have a Wellfleet router in our support area at FTP Software. We initially had some difficulty getting it configured, but Wellfleet was very helpful. They updated our software, and now the router works well. We are routing ethernet to Token Ring. Unfortunately, our ethernet is not very busy yet, so I cannot give you much information about the performance of the router under stress. However, I can tell you that they have been very responsive to our difficulties, even ones that turned out to be our own fault.
