First off in DEC's January-March Networks and Communications Buyer's Guide (I got it from DEC by calling 617-351-4401) it indicates you can put together the following configuration: ----------- | DELNI | STAND ALONE CONFIGURATION ----------- | | <= 50m Cable Lenght | ----------- | DELNI | ----------- | | <=40m to 45m Cable Lenght ----------- |Work Sta | ----------- **** Are the cable lenghts for real? **** Can you do the same setup with the Cabletron MT-800 Units? **** Besides the obvious are there any REAL-LIFE experiences where this configuration has negative effects? Maybe it's the way I am reading the book but I come across areas which appear to contradict this. Standard Disclaimers --- Thanks, Mark Donnelly philabs!mergvax!donnelly
