RE: Is this a need for Anynet?

Chuck:
It is not a Perle, it is a 5494, and the NIC cost about $600, and we have 8
locations to bring up like this, so the customers wanted to know if there
was a way we could do it w/o spending the ~5K for NIC cards.  Since most of
these locations only have a few users, this will be a sufficient solution.
Currently the 5494 'talk' over their serial port to a Motorola 3512 DSU/CSU
connected on a private multi point circuit.  Customer wanted to be able to
reuse as much equipment as possible, but still be able to route IP WAN
traffic over the link.

Hi Carl,

Why are you trying to avoid a NIC in the Perle ?

That is what we are running by the way and I forgot to mention that or
assumed
you were using a NIC in the Perle (didn't realize you could do it without
one)
?-)

Just curious.

Chuck
