What can someone tell me about the current state of T1 links to Apollo
nodes ?  In "Planning Domain Networks and Internets" (page 7-3) it says
T1 links can only be used between ATR networks.  Another limitation is
the Domain/BridgeA controller which is a MULTIBUS device.  

Well let's say we have (3) 3500s and (1) dn10000 on a local 802.3
network, and a couple of 3500 orphans at least a mile away.  It is
not possible to connect the orphans into the campus LAN due to 
distance/property restrictions.  I would like to connect the orphans
point-to-point with 802.3 and let one of them be a gateway to our
campus Apollo nodes via T1.  This seems reasonable to me, but does
the hardware exist yet ?

Thanks in advance for any help.
