We need to find the best (best=least expensive & has reasonable performance...) way to connect two, possibly several, remote Ethernets. 1) What hardware is available that can be used to extend the TCP/IP based Ethernet over a 56kbps leased line? 2) Or possibly a faster/slower telephone circuit? -- ron@vsedev.vse.com (Ron Flax) uucp: ..!uunet!vsedev!ron inet: vsedev!ron@uunet.uu.net

I too would like information about connecting Ethernets. Specifically, we have two buildings with Ethernets in our campus, with fiber optic cables between the them. If we're lucky, we might get a dedicated fiber pair, otherwise we should be able to get at least a 56Kb link. (We're not allowed to run Ethernet or any other cables. We're stuck with what they gave us.) I believe I've read here that Cisco and Bridge make IP routers which might do what I want. Please mail me any information you might have on these and any other vendors. I'd also like to hear of experiences with these routers, positive and negative.
