	I am putting together an Ethernet inside a small company using
solely DEC computers (MicroVax II, 11/750, etc.)  Have decided to use
the DEC LAT terminal servers to connect all of the terminals to the
various computers (sort of a distributed PACX).  One problem though is
that I have heard bad things about the 'FANG' type ethernet taps
that DEC sells (H4000 transceivers), regarding reliability, etc.  I
would like to use the 3com transceiver boxes (which are hardwired in).

	Having heard some horror stories about compatability between
components, does anyone have and of the DEUNA/DECNA/DEQNA Ethernet
controllers operating thru 3com transcievers out there?
