Message-ID: Date: 17 Sep 88 00:37:29 GMT References: <425@aoa.UUCP> Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 12 The Ethernet TDR's are generally cheaper. The other "wire" ones ought to work. The phone guys were going to loan us one they used, and were convinced that it was more than I needed, but the problem went away before I took them up on the offer. Of course if it's an OTDR, it's a different picture. I actually have a Cabletron unit. We've had it out a couple of times, but we haven't actually found a problem that it would have solved. Usually just serves to point out that the physical cable is NOT what is causing the failure. -Ron
