Amcnc.1064 net.news.group utcsrgv!utzoo!decvax!duke!unc!mcnc!taylor Wed Feb 24 17:16:59 1982 Data Communications Newsgroup In talking with several network members, I have found quite a bit of interest in the formation of a group to discuss problems with various types of data communications hardware with which we might have common problems. In particular, hardware of interest seems to be the Develcon Dataswitch (port selector) and Timeplex stat muxes. Is there sufficient interest in data communications questions to warrent a net.datacomm news group? My feeling is that there is. Subgroups could be specific to different hardware which we may be maintaining (net.datacomm. dataswitch, net.datacomm.timeplex, etc.) Judging from the activity on fa.info-terms, it seems that there are a lot of us who are heavily involved in hardware maintenance and evaluation, and I would certainly welcome the opportunity to discuss possible options and opinions with others in the field.
