Ah yes, the infamous FiberMux Magnum. Seemed to function as a register insertion ring. Was found to be susceptible to "capture effect". A prime example of data-ignorant, bonehead telco design. At 09:37 PM 7/31/2002 -0400, Vincent J. Bono wrote:

I cant remember how many times it or a card had been replaced. Is anyone out there still using them? I do have fond memories of fddi, about the only truly stable card on a grf if there was such a thing.

There were some 10baseT connections too, there was at least one low end Catalyst switch dedicated to plain ethernet. Here is a big hint: http://www.nanog.org/2.95.NANOG.notes/mae-west.html -mark
