- I've been told that I could overcome the 2 Ethernet limitation on the
- DEC 4000 AXP by using an FDDI board in a Futurebus+ slot, then running
- the FDDI line into a concentrator, then into multiple bridges, with
- each bridge handling multiple Ethernet ports up to the available
- bandwidth.
-
- My question is, could the same be done on the VAX 4000, using one of
- the Q-Bus slots?
