Dean,

	I did this a few years back, and we used the fiber. It was blazingly
fast, but we hooked it up to a gig switch.  We did create the *LIND with 1GB
and Full Duplex.  You can't fun SNA traffic over these lines.

Subject: 5700 Ethernet

Hi,
Has anyone got any experience with Fiber Ethernet IOAs?  I've got a customer

who has purchased a #5700 Ethernet IOA for each of their 2 systems and they 
would like to connect the 2 systems together using these Fiber connections. 
Can Fiber be run between the 2 systems to connect the systems together (ie. 
cross over type connection) or have both systems got to be connected via a 
suitable switch?  I think the Ethernet line decriptions have to be created 
with 1GB speed and full deplex settings.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Dean.
