The old LANbridges (100/150/200) support maximum interbridge fiber
optic distance of 3.0/3.0/10.0 Km respectively as documented on page
A-2 & A-3 of "Bridge and Extended LAN Reference, EK-DEBAM-HR-003".
Does any of DEChub 90/900 fiber Ethernet module support this range? We
have customer who needs only Ethernet over 2.0 but less than 3.0 Km
interbuilding LAN-to-LAN. It looks like we have to sell them old
LANbridges.

One of our major cometitor in the HUB market offers a 802.3 FOIRL
transceiver which, they claim, will work over 3 Km. From other sources
I hear that it problably works, given the link is within loss budget
etc, but of course it is not supported by neither DEC nor the 802.3
rules.

RE: -.1
That reminds me of the customer in Phoenix a dozen years ago that ran
VT52 terminals on 480-foot RS232 cables at 4800baud. They worked find
as long as the terminals were never powered down!
The world is a set of trade-offs. Some more important than others (like
adherence to production networking rules I guess!)
