Please suggest a BETTER list if you know of one for this subject:













WE ARE TRYING TO EVALUATE THE FOLLOWING CONCENTRATOR DEVICES TO DEVELOP A
STANDARD: CABLETRON, ODS, AND SYNOPTICS.
WE ARE INTERESTED IN:
1. NETWORK MANAGEMENT. WILL IT FUNCTION THROUGH A ROUTER. DOES IT HAVE AN
   RS232 PORT FOR EXTERNAL ACCESS. WHAT ABOUT NETVIEW FOR THE FUTURE.

2. TRANSCEIVER COMPATIBILITY FOR THE FUTURE. CAN WE MIX AND MATCH LATER.
   SOME DO COLLISION DETECT AT THE TRANSCEIVER, SOME DO IT AT THE STAR.
3. WHAT ABOUT REPAIR AND SERVICE RELATED PROBLEMS.

ANY FEEDBACK THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
THANKS...
