2750.0. "Difference between detmr and detmi?" by CGOOA::EFRIESEN () Wed Sep 13 1995 19:27

    Can anyone tell me what the specs are for the detmr and the detmi? 
    
    I have serious performance problems in a lan while using the detmr, but
    everything responds quickly with the detmi installed instead. Are there
    timing issues that the detmi handles better than the detmr?

    	Unofficial answer, is YES we were promised the DETMI would handle
     packets from devices not conforming to the frequency specs of IEEE
    802.3 specifications.
    
    	However there was a frightening entry somewhere where it appeared
    that the retimed pulses out of the DETMI might also be out of
    tolerance, i.e. DETMR's had problems with the retimed pulses? I hope
    it was just an invalid report, or am I incorrect in assuming that a
    repeater in retiming the pulses, will change the frequency of the
    incoming pulses to its own clocking?

    	And for a bunch more info re: the DR90T/DR90C problem, look in
    UPSAR::ETHERNET, many different notes, but note 457 is a pretty good
    summary of the problem...
