The University of Minnesota is using them to tie about 6 buildings together on an Ethernet. The modem acts just like any standard transciever except that it gets you on/off an optical fiber. You can either plug the transceiver into an Ethernet controller or something like the DEC Ethernet Repeater if you just want to tie the 2 segments together. -- Scott (sheldon) Bertilson ...ihnp4!circadia!sheldon
