Here at Clarkson, we have been primarily using DEC's ethernet products, with 
the exception of using Cabletron MT800's in the place of delni's. We have 2-3
dozen
DEMPR's and haven't had problems with them. Rock solid... We are just now
getting into some Cabletron MiniMMAC's, which can be configured with your
choice of 12 ports (twisted pair, thinwire, fiber, etc). I heard from Cabletron
that there were some problems with the IRM modules in the larger MMAC's
and perhaps some of the other Cabletron repeater products (their normal
8 port thinwire repeater), but the MiniMMAC was supposed to be clean. I hope
they are right, because we are getting a few dozen MiniMMACS and I hope they
are as problem free as the DEMPR's have been.
