137.1IP routing is possibleEVTAI1::ROUX_P5 you Phase 5 !Fri Sep 14 1990 08:268
    
    	Didier,
    
    	it seems that the answer is written in the Sales update (July
    	issue page 34). Installing the FDDIcontroller 700 and other
    	FDDI or Ethernet controllers provide you with the IP routing
    	capability you need.
    	The total number of interfaces are ruled by the available slots.
137.2More than 2 ethernets ?LARVAE::HARVEYBaldly going into the unknown...Fri Sep 14 1990 10:3211

    The article mentions 3 FDDI controllers in the available Turbochannel
    slots - it does not mention how many ethernets are supported. I have
    heard that only 2 ethernets are supported by the driver for this
    system, though in the light of the FDDI boards supported, there would
    appear to be no technical reason for not having 3 ethernets.
    
    Can anyone else clarify this position ?
