<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In all Foxboro documentation, there is a
differentiation between Ethernet and NodeBus. However, Foxboro states clearly
that NodeBus is according to IEEE 802.3 standard. This implies that you can
connect AW or WP directly through an Ethernet card. so, why using DNBI !!!!. the
only difference between old Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 standard I know is in
the "type" field in the frame structure and all new Ethernet cards are according
to IEEE 802.3 Standard. So, what is realy the difference??.</FONT></DIV>
