Message-ID: Date: 17 May 91 21:18:10 GMT Organization: Edmonton Remote Systems, Edmonton, AB, Canada Lines: 13 We're just in the process of installing a twisted-pair arcnet Advanced Netware 2.15 (on a non-dedicated 286) LAN at work. We've been told by our vendor that, using twisted pair, an active hub is not necessary. However, we've been unable to get more than 3 out of 8 machines up and running at any one time! From what I've read (and none of it is too clear) I get the impression that we do need an active hub. Any comments? Please reply by e-mail. bhendrix@ersys.edmonton.ab.ca Brian Hendrix bhendrix@ersys.edmonton.ab.ca Edmonton Remote Systems: Serving Northern Alberta since 1982
