I almost forgot about those netedge boxes, seems the one we had in DC 
was about as reliable as a microwave with tin foil in it.  I cant 
remember how many times it or a card had been replaced.

Is anyone out there still using them?  I do have fond memories of 
fddi, about the only truly stable card on a grf if there was such a 
thing.

fddi, some remote with netedge boxes at either end of an atm link.
There were some 10baseT connections too, there was at least one
low end Catalyst switch dedicated to plain ethernet.

Here is a big hint:
