1926.1Token ring is not supported for ASE daemon communicationSMURF::MYRDALFri Mar 07 1997 14:246
    No token ring is not supported as a member network.  You can have
    token ring installed on a system which runs ASE and service clients
    with it.  But it can not be used as a transport for ASE daemon
    communication.

1926.2A ++ feature ...BRSDVP::DEVOSManu Devos DEC/SI Brussels 856-7539Sun Mar 09 1997 15:3113
    Greg,
    
    Would it be a development work to support it, or is it only testing and
    qualification?
    
    We have a some big BANKS in Belgium and Luxemburg running big IBM
    mainframes and token rings. The Alpha 8400 ASE/TRU clusters is a good
    system to replace these installations, but WE NEED to use the existing
    token ring network.
    
    This would be an add-on value for DEC clusters
    
    Manu.

1926.4Another engineer needs to quantify the workSMURF::MYRDALMon Mar 10 1997 13:115
    I am not the correct engineer to say how much work this would be
    in the HSM to support token ring.  Maybe Mitch can comment.
