	Why can't the DEChub900 be configured with the 
	DECswitch 900EF option (DEFBA)?

168.1V1.9 did not support FDDI inside the DEChub900NETCAD::BRAGDONThu Apr 10 1997 11:5711
    Rick,
    
    NETdesigner V2.0 was cancelled last year.  It would have
    supported FDDI in the DEChub 900.
    
    NETdesigner V1.9 did not support FDDI in the DEChub 900,
    which is why the 900EF is not there.  V1.9 does support
    FDDI design and analysis (including the 900EF) outside
    the multiswitch hub.

168.2Another option for you is SE's appletNETCAD::BRAGDONThu Apr 10 1997 12:058
    Systems Engineering has developed a visual network layout application
    which runs on top of VISIO.  It is used world wide by Network Services.
    
    You can certainly drop FDDI, ATM, etc modules in DEChub900 slots,
    as well as select MOD-PMD connectors into the configurable modules.
    The 900EF is there, of course.
