DIGITAL DELIVERS FAST ETHERNET HUB FOR SMALL OFFICES AND WORKGROUPS

MAYNARD, Mass., February 26, 1996 -- Digital Equipment Corporation today
introduced a low-cost Fast Ethernet hub for small offices and workgroups
that need optimum response time from powerful applications. Designed
specifically to support workgroups running bandwidth-intensive
applications such as client/server software, CAD/CAM, graphics or
financial modeling, the EtherWORKS Hub 8TX is an 8-port, 100 Mb/s Fast
Ethernet plug-and-play solution priced at $1,595. It is available
immediately.

The EtherWORKS Hub 8TX supports up to 8 workstations, PCs, and servers or
can be connected with another EtherWORKS Hub 8TX to support up to 14
users. Its compact desktop design simplifies installation. Front-panel LED
indicators provide vital network information including power, port
utilization, collision rates, partition status, and link/traffic status.

To minimize performance disruption, the EtherWORKS Hub 8TX offers several
smart features including auto-partitioning to isolate problem ports
quickly, auto-polarity detection to recognize and adjust cable assemblies
for correct polarity, and auto-jabber lock- up to automatically stop the
transmission of abnormal Ethernet frames that could cause data loss for
network users.

the IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX standard, including Digital's Fast EtherWORKS
PCI 10/100 network interface cards.
