| In order to bridge 2 FDDI LANs together, you need a bridge. The
GIGAswitch fills that roll. Are you looking for a DEChub 900 FDDI
bridge module? I mean, do you want the 4-port GIGAswitch card turned
into a FDDI bridge module for the DEChub 900?

| 1279.2 | yes! is it available? | CHELSY::WOODALL | MACRO is the best. | Mon Aug 08 1994 13:49 | 9 |
| Yes! That would work just right! The customer already has DEChub900s
scattered around and does not want a gigaswitch. They do want to
bridge the building FDDI ring to the site-wide FDDI ring.
Do ya'll already have one of these available?? If not, it will
probably mean the customer will buy several dozen CISCO 7000s with
multiple FDDI adapters in each to place in every building.

Just curious, but why would the customer rule out the GIGASWITCH which
is the FDDI bridge he is looking for, and buy CISCO 7000 routers? Cost
alone should be reason to look at the GIGASWITCH.

| 1279.4 | Fight the cisco's too ! | LARVAE::HARVEY | Baldly going into the unknown... | Mon Aug 08 1994 16:22 | 8 |
| I agree with .3 about the right tool for the job - though the GIGAswitch IS
a bit big....
Also, to counter the cisco's we should be pushing our DECNIS 600 which has
FDDI capabilities - though in truth is probably not much smaller than G/S or
cheaper for that matter.

| 1279.5 | anyone got a demo unit?? | CHELSY::WOODALL | MACRO is the best. | Mon Aug 08 1994 17:27 | 9 |
| Ok... I don't want the CISCO boxes either!
Does anyone have a GIGASWITCH to loan out to the customer for 4
months?? I have shown the customer the GIGASWITCH brochures and some
documentation several times. Without a demo unit I doubt they will
even consider it.
