Message-ID: <234@laic.UUCP> Date: 8 May 88 04:34:37 GMT References: <1914@uoregon.uoregon.edu> Organization: Lockheed AI Center, Menlo Park Lines: 12 Try buying protocol independant bridges (Data Link Bridges). We have a similar problem here with our Ungermann/Bass terminal servers, they won't boot across their routers (which they call remote bridges). At first, we bought boot nodes for each bridged network -- this too can be a maintenance problem. Now we have replaced several of our U/B routers with VitaLink TranLAN Bridges and we can boot across the bridge to the remote sites. Just a suggestion. (By the way I don't recommend the VitaLink unless you have multiple line to the same site, or you have alot of money to throw around, at $17k each they are not cheap.) R.D.
