- At the fall InterOp show in San Francisco, Fore Systems demonstrated an
- application very much like the one you describe. They had (at least) one
- laser disk player distributing video to DEC, SGI and Sun workstations over
- 100 Mbps ATM links. You can contact Dwight Dietrich (director of market
- development). Their address is:
-
- 1000 Gamma Drive
- Suite 504
- Pittsburgh, PA 15238
- Phone: 412 967 4040
-
- Their business is selling ATM, but they may let you know how they set up
- their demonstration.
