You are so lucky man!

I just attended a seminar by FORE systems today and they said that their
new 'ForeRunner' switches support EFCI-based ABR flow control.

I asked them if they have any plans to support ER-based ABR flow
control. They said that they will ship such switches in early 1997. They
claimed that they will be the first vendor to support ER-based flow
control in the market.

They said for more details you can refer to their homepage:
http://www.fore.com


I have some ad's for these switches. If you want more info. from their
own ad's, then feel free to ask me for more info if you are interested.
