1619.0. "900/10B2?" by JAHMAN::ELLIS (Peter S. Ellis Jr. - MBAd (More & Better Ads!)) Wed Oct 26 1994 09:54

    Howdy,
    
    My customer, a recent former DEC employee, told me he had heard of a
    new 900 repeater module which included 10Base2 (BNC) connectors like
    the 90C, but with higher density.
    
    Any takers?

    Currently under developement is the DECrepeater 900CP (DECPM); a
    16-port, per-port switchable, 10Base2 repeater. It has all the
    management capabilities of other 900-series repeaters, plus some.
    Please contact the repeater product manager, Vernon Hines
    (delni::hines), for product availability dates.

    >16-port, per-port switchable, 10Base2 repeater...
    
    I've heard a port number of 12... I've tried calling Vernon; perhaps
    he's away at Net. U.
    
    Any accounting for the discrepancy?

Yeah Peter, I goofed when we spoke on the phone.  It's 16 ports.  But hey, now
you get 4 more ports for free!  :-)

1619.6Can I have it NOW !!ZPOVC::KOKLEKThu Oct 27 1994 00:086
    I'm also on the same boat. What happens if I can give you back order of
    50 units of 900CP (Urgently needed), when can I expect to receive it ? BTY I was waiting
    this products a year ago.

    	I was able to reach Vern through Vaxmail.  Try sending him mail for
    expected ship dates.  If you figure out how to use 90C on something
    other than the thin wire rail I send you a case of beer.

1619.8My case can be sent to ...CGOS01::DMARLOWEHave you been HUBbed lately?Mon Oct 31 1994 16:059
    I sold 4 900CP's back in April.  We put together an interim solution
    to provide 4 thinwires on one floor and 3 thinwires on another floor.
    When the 900CP comes out, the iterim solution comes out and then
    they will have 6 thinwires on each floor.
    
    Call me and we'll talk.

    I have a confirm order of 5 nos of 900CP, but we can't deliver in time,
    and we have to provide interim soluton to them by using 15 nos of 90C,
    how soon can we have the 900CP available???

    We will not give out product availability dates in this notes
    conference. You must contact the appropriate product manager for such
    information. In this case, you should contact Vern Hines
    (DELNI::HINES).

    Did you consider using the DETTR-AB 10baseT to Thinwire repeater
    insteaed of the 90 repeater?  I think they are considerably cheaper.
    
    I'm trying to find a good way to replace 12 DEMPR's.  The 900CP were
    perfect.

1619.12It ain't pretty but it works.CGOS01::DMARLOWEHave you been HUBbed lately?Tue Nov 01 1994 12:1814
    re. -1
    
    The customer has star coax on the floors.  They needed to connect
    6 workstations per switched Ethernet which meant getting the 900EF
    ports out to a bunch of 90C's running standalone.  With the 2 AUI's
    I could use a DECXM MAU and the 90C's but the UTP had to be converted
    to 90C's.  We didn't use as twister as the customer had plenty of
    DEFAR's sitting around.

    PS.  Now that I've given the interim solution that we used, does
    that mean I don't get my case.  8^)

    	I'm disqualifying you on the beer reward since your customer had
    half the solution in place for you :^)
    
    	Thanks for the feed back though.  Unfortunately I don't have a
    cache of modules.
    
    Scott
1619.14But...CGOS01::DMARLOWEHave you been HUBbed lately?Tue Nov 01 1994 18:054
    How about a 6 pack since I supplied "half" the modules required?
