The following is our product information:

**********************************************************************

The 8080 is Hughes Lan System's local ethernet bridge.  Version 2.0 which
is about to enter Beta test and will be shipping in the September, will
meet and exceed the requirements outlined.  The 8080 is a filtering and
learning adaptive bridge which offers protocol specific filtering
capability including TCP/IP, XNS, IPX, V2, DECnet and others.  The 8080
will also filter on either source or destination addresses to provide a
greater degree of control over the network in terms of security and
traffic management.  Management of these bridges is accomplished either
through the serial interface port or in-band with the 9100 Sun based
network management station.

HLS also sells other similar ethernet bridges.  The 8011 is a remote (T-1)
ethernet bridge which will do all of the above and then some. The 8200 is
a backbone bridge system which will connect any number of ethernet subnets
across a high performance broadband backbone.  Again these two bridges
offer the same protocol filtering and address filtering and a number of
other exciting capabilities.


The 4208 is HLS's multiprotocol terminal server supporting TCP-IP and LAT
protocols.
