We have two ThinLAN (802.3) cards installed in EACH of our three
HP3000's. We have all of the DTSLINKs configured for one of the cards,
and all SYSLINKs configured to use the other. We are heavy users of
NETBASE from Quest, so our machine to machine traffic thru the SYSLINK
is quite heavy. We have about 600 users accessing the HP3000s thru the
DTSLINK via DTCs and PCs.
