(NY, NY) Lines: 15 Now that Paul Vixie answered most of my questions about DEC ethernet widgets, let me add one more that I forgot the first time around. What's the difference bettween a DESPR and a local DEREP other than the detail that one has 1-thick/1-thin and the other had 2-thick? And, if you can stand one more question, who named all the friggin' boxes? I mean, DE followed by 3 random letters? Can't get much more confusing than that, especially why you are trying to ask questions over the phone: "I'm sorry, did you say DEmumble or DEmumble?" -- Roy Smith, System Administrator Public Health Research Institute {allegra,philabs,cmcl2,rutgers}!phri!roy -or- phri!roy@uunet.uu.net "The connector is the network"
