DEMPRs don't cost that much today.  You may have been forced to buy a
bridge to go with your DEMPR until recently since that was the only
configuration that DEC could guarantee would work.  Cabletron's DEMPR
is $2795.00 list.  I am sure DEC is in that range too.  I hear that
you can now order them w/o bridges.--
