I'd be interested in hearing about peoples reactions to the IBM 8209
Ethernet to Token Ring Bridge.  Does everything work?  All TCPIP
protocols?

What if I make the following configuration:

Ethernet I - 8209 - TR - 8209 - Ethernet II

and on each Ethernet, I run DECNET or LAT or IPX or whatever.  Can I perform
cross functions from Ethernet I to Ethernet II transparently?  I'm more
interested in hearing what doesn't work, than what does work.

Thanks,
Hank
