Thanks Dwayne,

I hadn't really thought of that.  As this is already a 2 segment node
on a CBLAN I'm not sure I can add an extra pair of NCNIs.  I suppose I
could replace the FONBEs with NCNIs (in the plan for next year anyway)
and go that route with a 7.x workstation.  I need to extend 4
workstations though, which would mean V7.x switches in the control
room.  Not a terrible idea, as I could re-use both workstations and
switches under V8 if I use P91 or P92 workstations.

Really, though, I'd rather use my existing 51D and 51E workstations
rather than buying new ones for now.

Cheers,

Kevin
