    Hi,
    	I am putting together a mdf for the bombay stock exchange. I went 
    through the notes conferences and found a mention of transition time in
    case of failure depends on the configuration. 
    
    	In my case, i have a 6640 in each site with around 4000 PC's
    and 40 VAX 3100's connected on the network through 100/10 bridges.
    
    My doubts are:
    
    1. What would be the tranistion time in this case. There will be around
       8 GB in each site with around 1 GB being shadowed.
    
    2. What would be the transition time in case i use a "tie breaker" VAX?
       Waht kind of system would one recommend? Would a 3100 or a 4300 do?
       Would this system be loaded to a great extent or would it slow down
       the main cluster?
    
    3. Is there any limit to the number of DEC bridges i put on the FDDI 
       ring to connect other systems , such as the PC's and VAX's?
    
    4. Would there be any network location where i can pull some DECwrite 
       compatible diagrams (.doc )of the diagrams of MDf sites? This is to 
       help me put together the bid.
    
    Thanks and regards,
