I'm in a situation where I have to link a 3/280S with another
Sun system (probably a 3/160) located a couple of miles apart.
We would prefer to link them with IP in such a way that both
machines appear to be on the same Ethernet (with Ethernet like
throughput).
I have heard of a DEC microwave bridge that will link Ethernet
segments at high (10 Mb/s?) speeds. Are any of you familiar
with this product? Calls to DEC result in comments like "Gee!
I never knew we sold *those* ..."
An alternative would be a T1 line running IP over SunDNI/X.25.
(I doubt we can run fiber between the sites.)
ANY suggestions on how we can set this up would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if this will help but here at McMaster our Medical
center has a microwave link to Chedoke hospital and there are
plans under way to biggyback TCP/IP protocols on the link. This
should be completed in a couple of months.
We will be linking a group of Sun workstations (3 4/110s 5 3/60s
and 1 4/280) to the McMaster ethernet. The two hospitals are
seperated by a couple of miles (at least!) It'll be interesting
to see what kind of bandwidth we'll get from the link.
At this time I'm not sure who you would contact for more information
but if you are really interested get back to me and I'll try to track
down a contact for you.
