I have been given the task of designing a campus lan using both
thin and thicknet Ethernet, 3c501 cards and TCP/IP.

For starters, can anyone tell me the pros-cons of DACU box vs
Sparticus box.

Also, if I use SEICOR star clusters with FO links can I place
a filter repeater between the two star clusters and have two
Ethernets, each star cluster support 1024 devices?

Does anyone run IDMS/R on a IBM VM machine with TCP/IP?  Can you
use the IDMS full screen feature?  How about file transfer, line
printing, et

Thanks in advance...
