[net.lan] IEEE 802 info, specs wanted

dfh@ecsvax.UUCP (David Hinnant) (04/11/85)

  I'm looking for written specifications on the IEEE 802 project, specificly:
802.3, 802.4, and 802.5 dealing with CSMA/CD, token passing bus and token
passing rings, respectively.

  My information is dated, so I may have incorrect numbers.  Is there any
electronicly readable information available on CSMA/CD and token passing
{bus, rings}?  If not, who do I write to at IEEE for a hardcopy?

I don't know of electronic copies, but IEEE publishes standards and the
802 standards were listed in the April new and recent publications list.
This list was in a copy of IEEE Spectrum.  The 802 standards listed were;

							     member/nonmember
802.2	Logical Link Control				    ($17.95/19.95)
802.3	Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detect ($19.75/21.95)
802.4	Token Passing Bus Access Method			    ($23.35/25.95)
802.5	Token Ring Access Method			    ($17.95/19.95)

Look in the back of a recent issue of Spectrum for ordering information and
price verification.	(page 92)
