DEC offers a product called a DEMPR that connects to thick Ethernet by a transceiver and gives eight connection for thin Ethernet cables out the other side. This seems like an ideal way to economically link lots of workstations via Eth- ernet. The question is: Does anyone in netland have experi- ence with this device? How well does it work? Are there cautions that should be observed when designing one of these into an Ethernet? Is there something else that does the same thing that I should consider? If you have information on these questions, please mail it to me. I will post a summary of mail responses that I receive to the net. Thankyou. Ted Bentley ihnp4!alberta!myrias!tcb
