If its your own private LAN give it a shot. Just don't do this
on CXO's lan as all the systems I use are there:-).

| ...lemme see if I can find that KEIKI node, just a tweak here and...
:-)
I thought about the fire test, I just hate it though...I almost always
get burned.

I'm no Ethernet expert, but I think what you're proposing won't work. I
believe you can find T-connectors that give you a longer stem than what you
have right now. That may give you the clearance you need. I'd look into that
first.

| re: .3
I think you are correct. I have been trying to find a T with a longer
stem...I seem to remember seeing them somewhere back in my dark past.

| Have you already checked the Open DECconnect catalog?
Go visit http://www.networks.digital.com/ I think there's a pointer to that
catalog somewhere on the net.

| 1280.6 | Out of spec but might work! | RWCVAX::COULSON | Roger Coulson - RSE DTN 223-6158 | Mon Mar 17 1997 08:40 | 12 |
| This is not my field of expertise but merely a thought. The distance
from center to the BNC T connector to the Ethernet chip on the board
is a stub. Certainly a 6 foot cable would never work. The stub needs
to be minimal and the PCI Ethernet boards are designed to minimize that.
You might try a BNC double male barrel and BNC double female barrel
connector and see if that works. That would add about 2 inches to the
stub and gie you the clearance you want. While out of spec it might
work on a small lan. Anyone else care to comment?

| I appreciate all the input...I think I managed to get around the
situation by using another PCI slot I was finally able to get
mastering.
thx again,
