767.0. "DEChub 900 backplane" by GRANMA::NKENNEDY () Thu Feb 24 1994 18:36

    Is it ture that the DEChub 900 multi-switch backplane will eliminate
    the Ethernet repeater rule with future firmware upgrades?  If so I need
    a white paper explaining this, and where can I get it.

    Firmware has nothing to do with it.
    
    For the purposes of calculating repeater rules, any number of repeaters
    connected via a Multiswitch flexible channel (IMBs, in the case of
    Ethernet) are considered 1 repeater.
    
    NOTE:
       The Thinwire still follows the rules it did for the DEChub90
