[HECnet] FDDI and DECNET, clustering

[Sampsa Laine]

Guys,

I've just received a DEFPA-DB PCI-FDDI adapter from ebay, my plan is to install it in CHIMPY and then connect CHIMPY to CHIMP via this for clustering.

Anybody know how I would go about cabling such a beast, there are four fibre optic ports on these things?

Also, can I route DECNET traffic over this interface - I assume not as bot machines are Alphas and they don't do routing...
