    I am requesting any information or contacts to help me respond to a
    U.S. Army, RFP.  The RFP reads in part as follows;
    
    "An FDDI router/gateway with four (4) separate IEEE 802.3 ETHERNET
    interfaces (and transceiver cable ports) shall be supplied at each of 
    nine locations.  The supplied routers shall be equiped with an optical 
    bypass mechanism which maintains integrity of the FDDI rings in case of 
    router maintenance/failure., and
    
    The router/gateway shall be attached to both FDDI rings, shall operate
    at full FDDI bandwidth (100Mb/sec) and shall permit full, continued
    100 Mb/sec network operation between Rings #1 and #2.  The contractor
    shall not provide ETHERNET interfaces for this router/gateway unit if
    it is a physically separate, independent unit from the router/gateway
    specified in 3.8.3.1 for room 1074."
    
    Any information that helps me respond to the specification willy
    accepted.
