[HECnet] Cluster annoyances

Hi Cory, You don't happen to use a Cisco switch when you connect the MicroVAX to your LAN?

There's between 5 and 10 milliseconds of latency between the two...but that shouldn't matter...should it? As I don't have a SCSI Qbus adapter, and I didn't get the TK50+TQK50 with it, I can only MOP boot it. 60M disk is also not a lot.
