My company is in the final stages of design and subsequent implementation of
an Australia (and maybe parts outside oz :-) wide WAN. This is being based on
the use of Cisco multiprotocol bridge/routers and will initially handle IP and
DECnet traffic.
Does any readers of this newsgroup have any experience with the use of
Appletalk protocols over a WAN. Does it work ??? If so, how well, and what
are some of the things to look out for.
On the other hand, I've heard some people absolutely abhor the use of it on
a WAN. Should we use encapsulated AppleTalk, either DECnet or IP, and route
using those protocols??
As I indicated in the subject - what are the pros and cons, what should we
*not* do ?? :-)
