Geoffrey Baehr) Organization: Network Research Corp. Lines: 34 Xref: watmath net.lan:1138 net.dcom:1449 Keywords:fiber repeater A short follow up to the net on the article I posted concerning Fiber Optic Repeaters for Ethernets. Another vendor has come on the scene : Fiber Com Box 11966 Roanoke, Virginia 24022-1966 703-342-6700 Their repeater is similar to many of the others, yet it is TEMPEST certified. This leads to an interesting paradox - why TEMPEST certify the box which is attached to an unsecured net, with non TEMPEST tranceivers ?? Someone must need this certification... Price quoted by an eager sales type was approx 895/per. As usual, other people's experiences and recommendations are welcome. I hope that this helps to reduce the morass of information out there to mere primeval ooze. -- Geoffrey Baehr - N6LXA Network Research Corp USENET - inhp4!nrcvax!geoffb ucbvax!calma!nrcvax!geoffb {sdcsvax,hplabs}!sdcrdcf!psivax!nrcvax!geoffb BELL - 805-485-2700 POST - 2380 N Rose Ave. Oxnard C.A. 93030 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
