I'm going to have a couple of 3/80's in here shortly & I have a question
about how to go about hooking them up.
We currently have a Sun-3 thin ethernet, with the machines running SunOS
3.5. It is desired to hook to 3/80's (temporarily) to the thin-net.
However, the 3/80's will only run SunOS 4.x & only have thick-net.
Here are the required connections:
1) The two 3/80's need to be permanently hooked together. However, they
will never be more than 5 feet apart. Is there some way to skip the
transceiver nonsense & just wire them together?
2) The 3/80's will only be connected to the other machines for development
purposes & I was wondering if we could just run SLIP between one of the
existing Sun-3's and one of the 3/80's & get the desired connectivity.
(we have slip.tar.Z but have never installed it.)
Any pointers/comments/gotcha's would be appreciated.
Thanks.
