Subject: DEFPA/DE500-XA (FDDI-100BaseTX) 
Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

A question to the experienced:

Would a PCI machine equipped with FreeBSD and these cards be suitable to act
as a router between a FDDI/100BaseTX network? Is anyone running
such a configuration? Can it be connected directly to a
DECconcentrator900MX? Caveats? Cabling (SAS vs. DAS mode)?
