That's far too vague for a specific answer. In general, it DOES work.
FDDI is new, so there certainly are bugs in various implementations
that cause problems. But your expectation should be that you can build
multi-vendor FDDI networks and it will work.

Ok, I heared that different Vendors FDDI interfaces have problems
Talking to each Other's..as oppsoed to FDDI interface Boards that
are mode by the same Vendor.
Iam Taking a class at Boston Univ (Local area Network, Design and
Implementation CSE635), and we have students from different commpanies in
the calss, and someone claimed the above...
Iam not sure what specific Vendors FDDI interface that he claimed
having problems talking to each others..
thanks
