One thing I would like to point out is that using DTCs does not necessarily
require you to operate your LAN connection at 10mb.  Depending on the
network hardware that exists between your CPU and the DTCs, you should be
able to configure the switch ports the DTCs are on at 10mb, while the CPU
uses 100mb.  I believe most switches and hubs can handle the speed
translation just fine.

Subject: Multiple network cards


Does anybody have any views on this idea please?
We have an N -220 1 cpu. The current card runs several DTCs, which limits
us to 10Mb. If we were to add a second card, leave the DTCs and serial
devices on the first card, and move the pure network connections to a
second card at 100mb, are there any down sides we should know about
please?
MPE/ix 7.0 currently running.
TIA,
