i've got some hardware i'm trying to get up and running.  it's giving me a hard
time of course.

i have a Suminet 3500H FDDI router.  it's got DAS FDDI, two AUI ethernet ports
and a Token-Ring port.

it's got a serial port which i'm assuming is a console.  i hook my 9600 8N1
serial from my sparc20 but get nothing out of it.  i did a search on google on
this thing and got no hits.

i have a Proteon P4200 router with DAS FDDI and two AUI ethernet ports.  would
the cool guy who used to work for proteon please email me? i lost your email
address.  this thing works, just needs an OS to boot from.

Quickie: does anyone know how to configure a 3Com LinkBuilder FDDI Workgroup 
Hub? i want to seperate the A/B pair and the M slots into seperate rings.  
anyone know how to do that? i know this thing can support up to three rings.

finally the last, and hardest to find out about piece of hardware, the one and
only (you may have heard me ask about this thing before, but i'm going to assume
there are new people on the list and hopefully they know about this thing)
Invincible Technologies Corporation Ultimate-5.

got pictures and a description.  i should probably re-write the description
except i'm lazy.

if anyone has any info on any of this stuff please let me know.  i'd love to
get it all operational, i've got plans for it.

cheers,

-brian
