All I know is that Suminet is a Japanese brand of network equipment, and a
3500H is an FDDI DAS (dual-attach) to Ethernet (and possibly Token Ring)
router. I've never seen any Suminet kit, but if you tell us what the
connectors look like, and how many there are, maybe I can tell you what you
have. If some are 15-pin D-connectors, it would help to know whether they
have clips or screws for mounting, and whether they are male or female. As
for the serial port, I'd expect it is indeed a console line, and you've
just got the wrong baud rate. Or it's Japanese!
I still haven't quite got my own FDDI up and running, partly due to a
faulty SAS card in one of my SGIs. If anyone has any surplus FDDI boards
for SGI kit, especially GIO DAS, or any surplus *small* bridges or routers,
I'd be interested to hear from you...
