- Last month at our local (Cambridge) DECUS LUG meeting, Terry
- Robinson from DEC's networking group (who was there to talk about
- Gigaswitch) mentioned that DEC has had a cluster up over T3 from somewhere
- in NH to somewhere in MA. It was a FDDI-based cluster with a FDDI-T3
- gateway on each end plugged into one port of the Gigaswitch. She made
- no mention of the performance except that it was "more stabile than
- some of the local clusters."
- Multi-state VAXClusters...sort of lends new meaning to the phrase
- "disaster tolerant."
