We are considering the installation of Proteon's 10MB token ring.
The boards will go into VAX 750's, PDP11/70's, and later possibly
also PDP11/73's, ALTOS 986's and IBM PC/AT's.

Is there anyone out there with arguments in favor / against this ?
Does anyone have information about reliability, performance, and
service ? There appear to be only a small number of sites at this
end of the ocean, and we cannot afford specialized network personnel
just to keep a LAN running.

We would be very grateful to receive any suggestions and comments
on this, and hope to reach the land of tokens, packets, and datagrams
without too many problems ...
				Yours truly,
						Jean-Claude Wippler
