Jeff Sullivan asks:
<<Has anyone installed more than one ThinLAN card(802.3) in their
HP3000?  If so, why?  Would this, or could this improve the response
time for systems that have 300+ users accessing the system, or
would this be used for segmented networks? >>

Like Steve Dirickson, we have 2 cards in addition to the MFIO card.  They 
are all on different segments.  One is for our users, one is the backbone 
[which includes NetBase shadow and NFA traffic], and one is for our printers 
[heavy-duty Xerox machines, with Sun Sparc front ends].

The PC traffic is all routed, neither the backbone nor the printer traffic 
ever leaves their respective segments.  Everything works better since we 
implemented this [quite some time ago].
