I have no quantitative results, only the experience of abnormal delays from time to time. I was said that the RetixGate was bogued and near to be fixed. Hence it may not be only a problem of throughput. Now, my question : Does anybody in the netland know on the market an intelligent multi-port repeater ? By "intelligent", I mean a filter like the RetixGate or the DEC LanBridge. By "multiport", I mean a repeater for some thin Ethernets and 1 or 2 thick Ethernet transceivers, like the DEC DEMPR. Please post directly to me. I will summarize and post the results to the net. Thank you in advance -- Pierre Laforgue pierre@imag.imag.fr {uunet.uu.net|mcvax}!imag!pierre
