949.0. "Beyond 10 b 2 + 6 IMB ???" by MARS03::THOMAS () Mon May 02 1994 11:16

    
    	The DEChub 900 ethernet modules can only access the 10 b 2 and 6
    IMB. So only 7 of the 12 Ethernet segments can be used in a DEChub 900.
    
    	When may we expect to have repeaters/routers/brouters... that will
    be able to access the other Ethernet segments ?
    
    	Will the current product be able with a software or marketing
    upgrade to access the other Ethernet segments ?
    
    	Regards,

    to access the other Ethernet segments ?
    
    >> Current repeater products (DECrepeater 900TM, DECrepeater 900GM,
    >> DECrepeater 900FP, etc) will never be able to access more than the
    >> current 7 Ethernet segments with a software upgrade. This is a
    >> hardware restriction.
949.2OK, so when future modules ?MARS03::THOMASTue May 03 1994 02:5212
    
    	Thank you for your fast answer.
    
    	So when may we expect DEChub900 modules that will be able to access
    more than 7 ETHERNET LAN ? 
    
    	I don't ask you for any commitment about this timeframe; i only need
    current schedule of those modules.
