637.0. "DEChub900 Router modules?" by BIGUN::WULFF () Tue Jan 18 1994 21:07

    We have answered a tender from a section from the Australian defence
    force.
    
    They have come back to us with three questions of which two I am not
    sure how to answer.
    
    We had put a number of the DECbrouter 90's into a hub to handle remote
    sites. 
    
    Question, is there a router module that will handle more than two
    ports?
    
    They would like to now how to connect more than one hub together.
    I believe this would depend on what technogy they would like to use. eg
    if they required FDDI then they would need some sort of FDDI modules in
    each hub. Is this correct?
                             
    Thanks for any help.
