Hewlett-Packard will announce a new module
for the AdvanceStack Switch 2000 that will tie ATM-based layouts
to typical local area network topologies that use FDDI, 10- and 100-mbps
Ethernet, and HP's VG technology. The 2000 has six slots to house a variety
of networking options. The ATM module will be available in December for
$8,999.
