Networks within University of Waterloo.
Hurray! People to share frustrations with.
We are currently experminenting with a Sytek Localnet 20 system running
(urgh!) 2.10 on t-muxes and 2.14 on t-boxes. Our evaluation of this soft-
ware to date is that it needs quite a lot of work. All communication systems
within the University is within the purview of a group called DCS (Department
of Computing Services). My involvement is as sub-administrator for MFCF
(Mathematics Faculty Computing Facility). The DCS group have been reluctant
in the past to communicate over our machines, but with this in place
I expect the network administrator will be interested.
DCS also supplies a switched network made up of Gandalf equipment which is
getting a little long in the tooth. This is our basic reason for seeking
LAN alternatives. 200 pair cables are painful to haul from building to
building.
We would be interested in other experiences and
networking solutions. Please reply in net.lan (of general interest) or
mail for specific items.
