    Can we configure a Decsystem 5000 with 3 ethernet connexion and 1 FDDI
    connexion using TCP/IP.?
    
    Have you any ideas about this kind of router IP ?
    Any comments ?
    
         
    Thanks

    	Didier,
    
    	it seems that the answer is written in the Sales update (July
    	issue page 34). Installing the FDDIcontroller 700 and other
    	FDDI or Ethernet controllers provide you with the IP routing
    	capability you need.
    	The total number of interfaces are ruled by the available slots.

| 137.2 | More than 2 ethernets ? | LARVAE::HARVEY | Baldly going into the unknown... | Fri Sep 14 1990 09:32 | 11 |

    The article mentions 3 FDDI controllers in the available Turbochannel
    slots - it does not mention how many ethernets are supported. I have
    heard that only 2 ethernets are supported by the driver for this
    system, though in the light of the FDDI boards supported, there would
    appear to be no technical reason for not having 3 ethernets.
    
    Can anyone else clarify this position ?
