46.1Here's a startLEVERS::CIARFELLASaabless and happyTue Apr 03 1990 09:1015
    If you've got access to VTX and the Digital on-line library catalog
    (keyword DLNCATALOG), then try looking up stuff under the subjects
    FDDI or FIBER DISTRIBUTED DATA INTERFACE.

    Here are some magazines to check:
	Telecommunications, October 1989 - 
    		(FDDI Dual Ring of Trees Topology, Digital)
    	LAN August 1989
        IEEE Transactions on Communications, June 1987
	IEEE Communications Magazine, May 1986
	Telecommunications, September 1987
    
    Be wary of the articles on FDDI.  Many are written by AMD
    employees and are slanted towards their chipset and strategies.
46.2book/tape locationSHAPES::BILLERSBWed Apr 11 1990 07:416
    Are you in Europe? If so find somebody who went to Network uni or
    Harrogate and borrow the FDDI for non techies booklets. Also the
    learning centres that do tapes have stuff on FDDI etc etc that were
    produced for an electronic course called FOFT.
