	The DECrepeater 900TP (32 port 10baset per port) DETPJ-MA should
	be shipping in the Late March/April 95 timeframe. At present the 
	24 port telco version is not planned for release this year.

    My question in .2 was about the 24 port telco version, are you talking
    about CY95 or FY95?

1838.5Tell us...NETCAD::HERTZBERGHistory: Love it or Leave it!Fri Jan 06 1995 14:0914
    Oh.  Sorry.
    
    Actually, we are debating whether or not to ship a 24 port telco
    version of the per-port switching repeaters at all.  We have some 
    question as to whether the market actually wants it, because sales 
    of the DETTM vs DETMM have not been as strong as we anticipated... in
    fact, they've been rather weak.
    
    We would welcome feedback on this issue.  Do customers want 24 port
    telco version of per-port switching repeaters?  Are they willing to
    live with the lower port density per module and probably slightly
    higher cost per port in order to get the sanity of telco wiring?

1838.6NEEDED for the wiring scheme!!SCCAT::MILLERFri Jan 06 1995 14:379
    Being in the middle of a network upgrade project for 50 or so offices
    for one of our major customers that is using only DETTM's, I would be
    very unhappy to see us not have a plug-and-play per-port switching
    repeater to match this wiring scheme.  All of this customer's wiring
    (new) is 110 Frame, with Telco connections to the equipment.  Putting a
    32 port RJ45 repeater into this really plays havoc with the wiring
    layout, and removes the operation from the customer-doable list.  If
    per-port repeaters were available today, we would be spec'ing them for
    part of some of these offices.
