Greetings, We are expanding our ethernet to cover more floors, etc and what I would like are some guidelines, and helpful advice as to maximums of etherent without repeaters, best type of transceiver (the Interlan seems to be the best), longest length of transceiver cable, etc. On the ether are numerous Sun Workstations, Vax 785's, 750's, IRIS and Apollo Workstations, with some thought of adding the pdp11's. I know that vaguely, etherenet doesn't like to run for more than a mile and transceivers should be placed at least 8 ft apart, but I would like other guidlines. Thanks and I will post a cute report, summarizing said guidlelines later. Yours, -- USENET- .... Sean Byrne 5 years . /\ . CSRG, Philips Laboratories of anarchy . / \ .
