I plan to hang all the DEC machines off DELNIs (real ones :), with a
10baseT/AUI adapter to a 10/100 switch (not hub). That way my PCs can
talk to each other and the outside world at 100MBs, and the VAXes
don't have to listen to them. Why should me VAXes be interrupted by
the constant chatter of WIN98?
clint
PS Actually, I only have a single win 98 machine to run the scanner.
The remaining PCs run FreeBSD!

Do I have
a point? I guess my point is I'm trying to get off 10Base2, why
Hmmm... I'm moving towards 10Base2 and away from 10BaseT For older (classic) computers, the bus bandwidth
won't support 100Mbps
ethernet, so you have to go with one of the 10Mbps standards (I'll ignore
the original 3Mbps.. :-)).
...not even for a couple of machines on a subnet just for fun? :-)
