	If you have a Fibronics 8610 in your network you probably have problems. At this problem site the customer was complaining of DECnet loosing adjacenies every 18 to 24 hours for about 20 minutes. Fibronics claims this Workstation Server is also a bridge. It has 12 ports and you hook 2 Ethernet devices per port to the Workstation server which then bridges them to FDDI. Fibronics is onsite working on this problem. The customer has discovered that data is being lost across the Fibronics device as well as the adjaceny issue.
