Mixing different ethernet boards is entirely possible, just make sure
that each board uses the appropriate transceiver, i.e. do NOT connect a
3com Xceiver box to an Interlan board, or v.v. Some crossconnects WOULD work,
as long as they follow the same ethernet spec, e.g. both Xceiver and
controller use the IEEE 803.2 spec. 3com isn't ( supposedly )
up to the most modern standards, so Interlan board with 3com xceiver
wouldn't work. But all xceivers talk to each other nicely.
SO: Your friend can go on buying Interlan stuff ( or DEC for that matter )
without having to scrap his old 3coms.
Ain't standards wunnerful?
