[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] who posted the delni summary?

brad@cayman.COM (Brad Parker) (03/15/88)

A few years ago (was it that long?) some kind soul posted a very elaborate
explanation / expose about "ethernet in a can" a.k.a. delni boxes.

It contained a nice list of features/problems/issues which I would like
to read. Could someone send it to me or tell me where's it archived
or ftp'able (or whatever).

Something tells me it was someone from NASA/Ames (home of the P-3's) or
a cad company or AMD? Truth is I don't remember. Help!

Thanks in advance.

ps: could someone send me mail if this gets out; I'm not sure posting
is working here.

MICOM (1-800-LAN TALK) has just come out with an equivilant
of the DELNI box called 8-4-1 Multiport Transceiver.
Does everything the DELNI can plus costs less plus has more LED's
on front panel to provide more status.  Real nice!

I have no connection with either DEC or MICOM other than that
we use both here.

To Robert Miller(he who posted the plug for Micom/Interlan's Delni killer),
		Sounds like the same thing that the Cabletron Multiport
has been doing for TWO YEARS...I also have no affiliation with these people
other than using their equipment.
