Message-ID: <29168@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu> Date: 6 Dec 88 15:33:05 GMT Organization: The Ohio State University Dept of Computer and Information Science Lines: 18 We have puchased 6 Retix bridges for our department and will purchase more soon, we also recommend to other departments on campus looking for bridges that they purchase Retix's product. We have had them in place for about 5-6 months and have not had a failure. We did limited testing of throughput when we evaluated the bridge and they seem to handle the load as spec'd. As far as management capablities go, we had a unit with the network management software implmented for evaluation. It was nice except that our Proteon routers will not pass ISO protocols which the Retix uses in its net management software. So we are not using the network management software (maybe someday...). The price is very deceiving ($16XX range in quantity), in my opinion definately a good value. Tom Easterday The Ohio State University Instruction and Research Computer Center (614) 292-4843
