Keywords: ouch Message-ID: <1815@leah.Albany.Edu> Date: 2 May 89 14:30:06 GMT Organization: The University at Albany, Computer Services Center Lines: 12 Hi, If this is the wrong place or it's been discussed recently, well, then don't let it give you high blood pressure... Got any good suggestions for transceivers to thick ethernet backbones? I ain't no netverk guy, so be nice. I've been warned off "vampire" taps, and have had one suggestion for 3com's. Why are these things so expensive? Marketing? rob
