We have just installed an ethernet backbone in our area and are in the
process of installing a DELUA controller on our VAX 11/780.  We've been
considering DEC's DECserver 200's, Bridge Communications CS100's or CS200's
and Ungermann-Bass' Net/One LAN systems.

We will be wanting to have access to the VAX and a Harris HCX-7 (Unix) 
machine initially with AT&T 3B2's, Sun Workstations and possible a TI
Explorer added later.  Does anyone have any experience with the Bridge
or Ungermann-Bass products?  The DECservers require DECnet, which we don't
know that we really want at this time.  The other vendors can use TCP/IP,
which seems favorable with the mix of machines that will be on the LAN.
If anyone has any war stories associated with these products, or other
'gotchas' that we should be aware of, any info would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance...
