Hello all, I need some help and info.  We have a large network with about
11-14 different nets.  Our problem today is the fact that they are all
bridged.  We need a router! we have about 600+ nodes and the bridges,
well they work but not that well - sometimes. Ohh, we have a whole bunch
of protocols TCP/IP, DEC, XNS, NBP, Ethertalk and IPX.  TCP/IP is what
most of our traffic is on our nets.  We have 99.99% picked CISCO (AGS+)
as the router to go with but I keep hearing.... how SLOW it gets when 
you start to route the different protocols.  Is there any truth in this
???????  I have talked to CISCO and other vendors about this, now I would
like to hear what the "real" world has to say.  We want to route 
the 11-14 nets and then in the future go with an FDDI backbone with a 
bunch of routers.

thanx
