Does any one have any experiences (good or bad) with the synoptics and
the cabletron equipments?  Is it true that if your subnets are isolated 
from the main backbone thru the synotics bridges/routers, the collison 
rate off your individual workstations (such as sparc2s, running optimized 
kernels, etc.) would always be higher (around 16%) then if one had cabletron 
equipment?  Has any one ever run into similar network problems with synoptics 
equipments?  Are there any news groups just for network related issues?
 TIA.
