Yes, we have two 802.3 cards in both our systems - one carries
primarily DTC traffic, and the other link serves as our home network
interface for file transfers, etc., over our wide-area net and for
NS-VT connections.  We have roughly 650-750 concurrent sessions -
mostly NS-VT - on the system each day.  If you have a mix of users over
both DTCs and LAN connections, an additional card could help.

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?  When I open the back
door to our HP3000, and know we have 400 users accessing our
data through one twisted pair cable, it is quite amazing.
Any information would be appreciated.
