Suppose some Sun-3s were linked via a Cheapernet and the Cheapernet
was to be connected to an ordinary Ethernet, linking other Suns and
Vaxes (so it's all TCP-IP based). What do we get in the way of a connector
to link the Cheapernet to the Ethernet so it all looks like one net?

Any suggestions on products, costs etc welcome. I know DEC make something
to do this but am not sure whether it would suit us.

Please reply by mail rather than post an article. Thanks.

David Coffield.
